Château Mayne Lalande: 15 – 15.5 / 20
Thanks to its aromas of fresh raspberries and silky tannins, this wine presents itself with a seductive profile.
Le Point, May 16, 2013
Château Mayne Lalande: 14 (Out of classification)
Woody, black fruits, blackberry, full, tasty, rich palate, velvety tannins, the woody, fairly present and flattering, enhances the flavors.
Château Myon de l’Enclos: 13 (Crus Bourgeois)
Dark fruits, fairly marked oak, sweetness, modern but tiring.
René Gabriel, Weinwisser
Mayne Lalande: 17/20
Extremely dark purple with lavender and violet reflections. Spicy bouquet, shaped like Cabernet, blackberries, liquorice and dark precious woods and a hint of eucalyptus. Firm on the palate, compact body, is very long and also beautifully aromatic, you can feel the demanding tannin contours. This year a little more Petit Verdot but less Cabernet Franc than usual.
Gault & Millau, premieres 2012
Château Mayne Lalande: 15/20
To salute, this success in the appellation and in the vintage with a very pure wine (more and more pure perhaps) underlined by a very subtle relief all in lace. Raspberry and violet delight the nose.
