Château Mayne-Graves is owned by the Guimberteau family who are also responsible for the very successful Château La Courolle. The family have been running vineyards on Bordeaux’s Right Bank for over a century. It wasn’t until 2002, however, that they planted vines at Mayne-Graves after becoming intrigued by its particularly gravelly terroir. This is a very small vineyard — just four hectares — situated in the enviable spot next to Montagne-Saint Émilion. Unsurprisingly, this area is very receptive to and successful with Merlot.
The Vineyards
Located north of Pomerol and adjacent to Saint-Denis-de-Pile, this vineyard benefits from a continental and maritime climate, which helps create ideal growing conditions. Spanning four hectares, it is planted with 6,000 vines per hectare, with an average vine age of 30 years. The soils are composed of gravel, providing excellent drainage and a perfect foundation for the vines. Viticulture practices include ploughing between rows, as well as de-budding and leaf thinning; the east side is tended to in July, while the west side is worked on in August. Green harvesting and rigorous sorting ensure only the highest quality grapes are selected.
