About the host
Grand cru classé of Saint-Emilion, Château Franc Mayne is located 1km from the village which can be reached by the paths crossing the vineyards of the appellation. Set back from the road and sheltered by two majestic cedars, it offers a panoramic view of seven hectares of vines cultivated with the greatest respect for the environment. Château Franc Mayne benefits from an exceptional diversity of terroirs. At the instigation of the new owner and the new director, the men and women in place apply themselves to creating a wine which subtly expresses this richness and reveals all its character.
