Wine Enthusiast (93)
92-94 Barrel sample. Smoky, tobacco aromas, a wine that slowly reveals its powerful fruits, its tense tannins and a dry, very firm structure. Impressive.HK$6,320.00 -
(12x75cl) 2009Vinous - Neal Martin (94)
The 2009 Grand Mayne has an opulent bouquet with well defined kirsch and red plum aromas, hints of cough candy emerge with time. It remains focused and precise. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, layers of candied red fruit laced with orange peel and marmalade. It builds beautifully towards the finish. Excellent. Tasted at the Grand Mayne vertical at the property.HK$6,990.00 -
(12x75cl) 2010Wine Enthusiast (94)
93-95 Modern in style, with its new wood flavors dominant, this is a tight wine at this stage, packed with tannins, the fruit a ripe promise for the future. Big and dark, juicy flavors show through finally.HK$6,795.00 -

The 2014 Grand-Mayne has a light fleshy red berry bouquet with crushed strawberry and raspberry. There is impressive delineation and focus in situ. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannin and a crisp line of acidity. This Saint-Émilion is nimble on its feet, something you might not ascribe to older vintages of Grand-Mayne, with a fresh mineral-driven finish. This is one of Jean-Antoine Nony's best wines in recent years. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting.HK$3,165.00 -

The wine be best after 2026.HK$3,875.00 -

The 2017 Grand Mayne has an attractive bouquet with red cherries, wild strawberry and blackcurrant, hints of humidor and clove emerging with time. There is clearly impressive intensity here in the context of the growing season. The palate is well balanced with fine tannins. There is superb freshness and cohesion with supple, lithe red berry fruit mixed with white pepper and bay leaf on the finish. This is an excellent wine from Jean-Antoine Nony and his team.HK$1,535.00 -
(6x150cl) 2018Vinous - Neal Martin (94)
The 2018 Grand Mayne keeps everything under wraps on the nose, at least for the first 60 minutes, then it blossoms to offer gorgeous pure blackberry, briary, crushed stone and light rose petal aromas. The new oak is beautifully integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins, superb acidity, gentle grip and an almost symmetrical finish of laser-like precision. An outstanding Grand Mayne, certainly one of the finest in recent years.HK$4,090.00 -

Wine Advocate (93-95+)
Opaque purple-black in color, the 2020 Grand Mayne slowly unfurls in the glass to reveal gorgeous notions of ripe black plums, dark chocolate-covered cherries and blackberry pie, plus hints of licorice, cracked black pepper and unsmoked cigars with a touch of tree bark. The medium to full-bodied palate is chock-full of rich black fruits, supported by ripe, rounded tannins and just enough freshness, finishing long and beautifully perfumed.HK$1,935.00 -

(12x75cl) 2003Grand Moulinet 2003 stands as a paragon of fine winemaking, meticulously crafted in the heart of Bordeaux’s prestigious Saint-Émilion appellation.

The 2003 climate bestowed ideal conditions, resulting in a wine with deep ruby hues, layered aromas of ripe blackberries, cedar, and a hint of tobacco, and a velvety, long-lasting finish.

The 2017 Grand Tayac has a bold bouquet with vigorous blackberry, wild strawberry and crushed rose petal aromas - aromatics that do not hold back! The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins. Perhaps the oak comes across a little too much on the finish, but there is good structure with an appealing velvety finish. Very fine.HK$2,395.00 -

The 2018 Grand Tayac has a rather smudged, slightly oaky nose that dampens the fruit and terroir expression. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins, quite dense for a Margaux and just missing some delineation on the rather monotone finish. It needs more flair and personality.HK$1,495.00 -
Vinous - Ian D'Agata (88-91)
(75% merlot and 25% cabernet franc) Bright red. Sexy, captivatingly pure aromas of sour red cherry, raspberry, white pepper and truffle. At once silky and juicy, with red cherry and raspberry flavors enlivened by a lightly minty quality. The finish is long, smooth and satisfying. Though this could use more complexity and depth, its seamless nature, pure fruit, and impeccable balance make it a winner. This may well turn out to be one of the best Bordeaux buys of all in 2010. This property belongs to the Guinaudeau family, owners of Ch a teau Lafleur.HK$2,355.00 -

The 2012 Acte 4 has quite a strict bouquet at first that needs more encouragement than other vintages from the glass. It is well defined with blackberry, boysenberry, touches of graphite and pressed violet aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannin, well balanced and displaying well judged acidity. It just seems to run out of ideas two-thirds of the way through, lacking the energy displayed by the previous vintage. Tasted at the Acte vertical in London.HK$1,545.00 -

The 2014 Grand Village is a delicious, fruity wine to drink now and over the next few years, while the flavors remain brisk and delineated. Freshly cut flowers, mint and sweet red cherries offer energy and persistence. This is a gorgeous entry-level wine from the Guinadeau family.HK$1,730.00 -

The 2016 Grand Village is a big wine. The natural richness of the year is evident in the wine's exuberant fruit and plush, dense feel. Black cherry, plum, chocolate, sweet spice and lavender all race out of the glass. Today, the ripeness of the vintage is quite evident in the wine's intense profile and overall feel. The 2016 spent 14-15 months in oak, 30% new.HK$1,415.00 -

The 2017 Grand Village comes mainly from the clay-limestone plateau that survived the frost that reduced production to only 9% of normal. "We were hit quite badly with frost in 2017 but we found by June that some vines were acting weird" Omri Ram told me when I visited Lafleur. "So we pruned back very early to help the vines get back into shape." It has a potent bouquet with mulberry, lavender and hoisin aromas. The floral aspect becomes stronger and stronger with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly hard tannins on the entry, quite spicy and a little chewier than recent vintages. Slightly bitter towards the finish with a strong black pepper note on the aftertaste. There is in fact, less Grand Village than Lafleur this year!HK$1,200.00 -

Just as it was from barrel, the 2018 Grand Village is rich and enveloping in feel. Inky red berry fruit, spice, licorice, mocha and dried flowers all meld together in this effortless, juicy Bordeaux Supérieur from the Guinaudeau family. Cabernet Franc signatures are quite prominent in the wine's aromatic profile and structural feel. The 2018 is a jewel of a wine that could very well surprise somewhere down the line. I loved it.HK$1,320.00 -
Decanter (94)
A gorgeous dark nose with some perfumed black cherries, it smells faintly sweet and softly floral - so welcoming. A similar soft, sweetness follows on the palate straight away with such perfumed edges that are completely captivating. Succulent with clarity and soft chalky tannins plumping up the blackcurrant, Morello cherry and raspberry fruit. There's also a very specific iron filing, iodine salinity that lingers giving such texture and nuance to the overall frame. The finish is fresh and direct with a cooling sensation that lingers. Sophisticated and refined, but above all so joyous to drink. A top buy. From the same winemaking team and philosophy as Château Lafleur in Pomerol.HK$1,230.00 -

Bordeaux's relatively diverse weather, particularly its rainfall, means that vintage variation can be quite broad between some years. However advances in wine making techniques, technology and investment has meant that many chateaux are still able to create very good wines in "lesser vintages". From the best vintages wines are made that are clambered for all over the world and mature excellently for many years.
This is a selection of some of our favourite vintages from Bordeaux over the last few decades, as well some more recent ones.
