The estate has been a Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Classé since the first classification of the appellation in 1955 (ratified in 1959) – a status it has held since then. Acquired by French businessman Jean-Pierre Savare in 2018, the 18th Century property had previously seen a succession of owners throughout the decades, including a spell under insurance giant – and well-known wine investor – AXA. Savare died in 2019 and the estate is overseen by his son, Thomas, alongside Martine ­Cazeneuve, who runs the property. Cazeneuve previously ran the Haut-Médoc estate, Château Paloumey (in which Savare is also a silent partner), until she passed this onto her son, Pierre Cazeneuve, in 2015. Franc Mayne is planted predominantly to Merlot with a small percentage of Cabernet Franc. The soil types are quite variable within the estate but, broadly speaking, the vines sit on sandy-clay soils on top of the limestone bedrock of the Saint-Emilion plateau. The vineyard began conversion to organic viticulture in 2019. Wines are fermented in a combination of oak vats and stainless steel tank before being put to barrel for aging. Initially, aging takes place in the first year cellar in the château buildings. For the second year, the wine (and barrels) are moved into the underground quarry next to the château (the cellar\/quarry also doubles as a visitor experience). The wines are aged in roughly 50 percent new oak, and the final blend composition generally reflects that of the vineyard plantings: 90 percent Merlot and 10 percent Cabernet Franc. The estate makes two wines: the grand vin; and a second wine, Cèdres de Franc Mayne. The estate also produces an additional second wine, the Ilex de Franc Mayne, from a one-hectare (2.5 acre) parcelle of Merlot.\u003cbr\u003e","published_at":"2024-03-21T10:20:01-04:00","created_at":"2024-03-20T15:46:20-04:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_France","NK180324","Other_Wine","Producer_Château Franc Mayne","Region_Saint-Emilion","Source_VendorEmail0324","Type_Red Wine","Varietal_Bordeaux Blend Red"],"price":433300,"price_min":433300,"price_max":433300,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":44521270706314,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":null,"requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"1990 | Château Franc Mayne | Saint-Emilion Grand Cru","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":433300,"weight":12247,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":null,"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/56_afb1d0e5-fe7e-4389-901f-dd0043ae2890.png?v=1710964106"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/56_afb1d0e5-fe7e-4389-901f-dd0043ae2890.png?v=1710964106","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"1990 | Château Franc Mayne | Saint-Emilion Grand Cru at CaskCartel.com","id":26526589583498,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.268,"height":600,"width":161,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/56_afb1d0e5-fe7e-4389-901f-dd0043ae2890.png?v=1710964106"},"aspect_ratio":0.268,"height":600,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/56_afb1d0e5-fe7e-4389-901f-dd0043ae2890.png?v=1710964106","width":161}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eRed Wine: 1990 | Château Franc Mayne | Saint-Emilion Grand Cru\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDelicate and impressive depth on the nose.
