Hurrah, it’s September and Domaine du Grand Mayne time! This is our fifth annual offer with the estate and the wines are better than ever, having had something of a revamp under the new head wine-maker, Coline Sicard.
The leading estate in the Côtes de Duras – which lies between Saint-Émilion and Bergerac and is one of France’s oldest AOCs – DGM is famed for its sustainable approach to winemaking and the hearteningly fair prices they charge.
If you like Bordeaux-style wines but quail at Bordeaux prices, then take a squint at these treats
If you like Bordeaux grape varieties and Bordeaux-style wines, but quail at Bordeaux prices, then I beg you to take a squint at the treats below. To say that they’re remarkable value for money is an understatement: they’re blooming bargains!
The 2022 Grand Mayne ‘Le Compère’ Blanc (1) is the estate’s entry-level white and bang on for summer slugging and swigging.
