Château Magneau Grand vin Château Magneau Grand vin

Black cherry and plum, compost, saddle, pepper. Lush texture, dark red fruit and pepper on the palette. Structured through a long finish.

This is a nice mid-weight St.Emilion (approx. 75%Merlot, 15%Cabernet Franc and 10%Cabernet Sauvignon) from this “classic” vintage. Indeed it is not suited for long term cellaring, but it’s perfectly ready to drink now and better than I imagined based on some previous comments. Medium color with some evolution, aromas of red berries, cedar, tobacco with, for extra complexity, interesting herbal and weedy tones, smooth tannins, nice acidity and a medium-long finish. Drink it now or over the next 3 years.

Beautiful cellar defender. Rich and complex. I think it's at or near the peak and should hold for several years.

2014 vintage

Dark fruited licorice, rich, and big fruit. Great cocktail wine. Hold.

Nase: mittelkräftiges Bouquet, Leder, Tabak, würzig Gaumen: voller Körper, saftig, fast schon weiche Gerbstoffe, ganz leicht austrocknend, zarte Süsse, leicht herb (nicht unangenehm) im langen Abgang Fazit: schönes Exemplar aus Bordeaux, genauer aus Saint-Emilion. Wie so oft (bei Bordeaux-Weinen), zunächst unzugänglich, mit einer guten Portion O2 (Sauerstoff) und Zeit wird der Grand Mayne zahm und nahbar. Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis ist, wie so oft bei Weinen aus dieser Region, eher subjektiv zu beurteilen, und bei diesem hier im Bereich gut bis sehr …

Nose of leather and plum, hints of cola, smoked vanilla and pine. Front of black raspberry and faint hints of tobacco and licorice. Middle palate of earthy blackberry and vanilla with soft fine tannins with just a touch of grit. Finish of more tobacco with hints of clove and dark fruit. Medium body, lovely wine. Sadly looses definition after a couple hours open.

2014 vintage

still young with a slightly bitter finish that mars an otherwise excellent concentrated St. E

2014 vintage

Fleshy black fruit upheld by a firm tannic backbone. Better with an hour of air. Has a nice umami richness in the mouth.

Wine was opened alongside some New World wines - which might have been an unfair comparison. The Grand Mayne still had evident tannins that masked what might have been beneath them. We were not in a position to decant - which might have thrown off some of that initial funk. I'd recommend decanting before drinking, or waiting another year or two.

Disappointing.

2014 vintage

stable performance in gathering. still young, could be better with time

2014 vintage

DAY 1. Great intensity of aromas. Steely minerality, toasty oak, ripe black fruit, dried herbs, licorice maybe, some silage. So mineral on the nose. Adding some black coffee and vanilla on the palette and a spicy bitter dark chocolate finish with appreciable tannin. Smooth mouthfeel. Fruit not as prominent on the palette as the nose, but I expect it to increase overnight, as I did PnP. Day 2. Fruit increased on the nose, raspberry and black currant , and also …

Very decent wine with a little bit purfume and candy like flavour and aroma and plenty of dark fruits. Smooth and silky. Value for money.

2014 vintage

Medium-bodied, classically styled, forward, early-drinking wine with a focus on its floral, spice, red fruit, herb and thyme character. The finish is bright, fresh and herbal. You can drink this now, or wait a few years. This will probably not make old bones. I'd opt for drinking it over the next 12-15 years.

2014 vintage

Drink in AGD 20th dinner, silky and good length. a nice wine.

2014 vintage

A bit too tannic, dark black fruits dominate, a bit dull, still not yet open up after 2 hours air time, the tannin made it a little bit bitter than expected. This claret has potential to bloosom in the future but avoid to drink it too early. Suggest to keep for at least 3 years..

2014 vintage

too young but show enjoy potential for this bargain. need to wait at least three years.

2014 vintage

Ouvert 45 minutes avant de servir. Grenat moyen, arômes de cèdre, d’épices et de fruits rouges. En bouche, le corps est moyen et il présente quelques traces herbeuses en finale. Mieux au nez qu’en bouche et assez nettement au-dessous du 2015

2014 vintage

Elegant medium bodied wine, savoury flavours and great nose. Drink next onebin 2020 to see how it’s developed

An Bordeaux Evening with Rene Gabriel (Mövenpick winestore, Hamburg, Germany) : Enormous bite initially, sweet rich cherry fruit, spicy though, ending dense and long, **-(***+?)

2014 vintage

Very dull overall. Not offensive in any way, but not worth seeking out.

2014 vintage

Colour: dark cherry red, hint of purple Nose: plum, raspberry, black cherry. Touch of charred oak, sweet spice, vanilla. Palate: red and black berry fruit: blackcurrant, raspberry. Charred oak, some sweet spice. Medium bodied, with medium fresh berry like acidity, drying savoury tannins. 13,5% alcohol. Good everyday drinking, nice but unexceptional.

Forward, medium bodied, charmer, with smoke, earth and fresh plums, with a spicy accent.

Very dark red violet color; cedar, tart red currant nose; tasty, tart red currant, cedar palate with good balancing acidity; needs 5 years; medium-plus finish

2014 vintage

UGC TASTING San Francisco Vintage 2014, nose of plum, dark fruit, and floral notes, medium/big body, very tasty, medium amount of soft tannins makes you wander about the future of this wine, nose better than the taste, and long, slightly harsh, finish.

2014 vintage

Ripe but with back bone

Tasting Bordeaux from bottle in New York City (Cipriani in New York City) : Bravo to Grand Mayne! This conveys succulence and fine tannin at once, with spicy fruit and excellent integration of oak. While not as precise and floral as Canon, this is an excellent Saint Emilion in 2014 from bottle!

2014 vintage

UGC Bordeaux 2014 Vintage (Rittenhouse Hotel, Philadelphia) : tasted at large walkaround tasting. stewed black plums, almost to pruniness. some astringency appears on med(-) finish. weakest of the St. Emilions, at least on this day.
