Our history
Nestled against the “Côte de Franc”, the slope from which it gets its name, the Château Franc Mayne vineyard is made up of a single block of vines, deeply rooted in its sloping terroir and on the prestigious limestone plateau of Saint-Emilion, 1 kilometre from the village.The estate offers unique wine tourism attractions with tours all year round, as well as a guest house nestling among the vines.
Tours include a walk through the vineyard and a visit to the vat room and the magical first year barrel cellar. Prior to tasting the wine, visitors discover the two hectares (5 acres) of underground quarries in which the wines are aged in the second year. Typical of the region, these galleries are among the largest open to the public in the appellation and feature a son et lumière show created by the scenographer Eric Le Collen.
Fully renovated in 2019, the pleasant 18th century château includes Le Relais Franc Mayne, offering five elegant bedrooms, one of which is a cabin perched in one of the cedar trees. Depending on the time and the season, the terrace and billiard room can be enjoyed, as well as the swimming pool for a refreshing dip.
Nestled in the privacy of its seven hectares of vines, Château Franc Mayne is an inspiration. Whether passing through or staying there, the view over the vineyard is not to be missed.
