Château Franc Mayne was purchased in the late 20th century by a Belgian group who also owns the liqueur Mandarine Imperiale. Huge investments in new winemaking equipment and techniques have started to yield fruit in vintage after vintage of elegant, rich and mesmerizing wine. A winery that was a consistent underachiever has become once again a leader for St-Emilion. Today Franc Mayne is viewed as one the region’s success stories, reflecting what hard work and conscientious owners can achieve in a reasonably short period of time.
