The 2016 Grand Mayne has a sensual, pure bouquet of lush crushed strawberry fruit mixed with raspberry and rose petals. The oak is very well integrated here, just oozing class. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent tannin, a fine bead of acidity and a smooth, velvety finish that beckons you back for another sip. This is a triumph, one of the best that Jean-Antoine Nony has overseen. Drink 2022-2045.

The 2016 Grand-Mayne is a very different wine from those of old when sometimes it could be pushed too much in the winery. Certainly, the addition of Louis Mitjavile, François's son, has had a positive impact upon Grand-Mayne in the last two or three years. This is very elegant and refined, displaying more terroir characteristics with a gorgeous herbal lift, almost as if owner Jean-Antoine Nony had used some stems! The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, crisp acidity, almost Pomerol-like in style with more mineralité and refinement on the finish. This is a new style of Grand-Mayne, and frankly, it is one of the best I have tasted from this Saint Emilion estate. Drink: 2022-2045.
93 Antonio Galloni - vinous.com (Januari 2019)
The 2016 Grand Mayne has turned out beautifully. Fresh, perfumed and nuanced, the 2016 is super-appealing. Sweet red berry, blood orange, mint and flowers add energy to an expressive Saint-Émilion that is texturally rich and also vibrant. I really like the sheer energy of the 2016. This is a wine of real character. Drink 2022-2041.

94 Lisa Perrotti-Brown - robertparker.com (December 2018)
Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Grand Mayne features fragrant kirsch, redcurrant jelly and black plums scents with touches of garrigue, mossy bark and Sichuan pepper. Full-bodied, rich and densely laden with vibrant red and black fruits, it has a plush frame and very long, earth-laced finish. Drink 2020-2034.
89 Jane Anson – decanter.com (April 2017)
This walks the line between extraction and freshness, with slick damson fruits and oak that stands up to attention, imparting a cinnamon biscuit feel. It's contemporary and enjoyable, but just seems to speak of cellar more than vineyard.
95 Jeannie Cho Lee – jeanniecholee.com (April 2017)
17/20 Jancis Robinson – jancisrobinson.com (April 2017)
Blackish crimson. Lots of ripe black fruits plus a bit of freshness. Quite zesty and appealing with a beginning, middle and end. Really quite successful and punchy. Lightly sandpapery tannins but long and well balanced. Really quite luscious. With an appetising saltiness on the end. Drink: 2023-2038.
89-92 James Molesworth - Wine Spectator – winespectator.com (April 2017)
The dusty edge that this sports from the beginning lingers throughout, while the core of plum, anise and blackberry meanders through. It’s ripe but lacks some energy.
