Château Franc Mayne

Saint-Émilion Grand Cru

THOMAS SAVARE ET SA FAMILLE

Château Franc Mayne is a Saint-Emilion great growth, which owes its name to its location adjacent to the Côte des Francs appellation. The vines are planted on slopes and on Saint Emilion’s prestigious limestone plateau. An ancient Gallo-Roman road runs alongside the estate. A former coaching inn on the estate bears witness to the steady flow of pilgrims on their way to Santiago de Compostela.

A STORY

In a few words

Attracted by the breathtaking landscape, Thomas Savare and his family purchased Franc Mayne in February 2018 with the aim to give a new impetus to this outstanding vineyard by producing environmentally-friendly wines that are a true reflection of their terroir. The estate has been organically certified since 2022.

 

Château Franc Mayne is a must for tourists, offering spectacular views over the two-hectare underground cellars. The estate is also home to the beautifully renovated Relais de Franc Mayne hotel.
