Thematic Interest & Activities

As guests at Le Relais de Franc Mayne, you will be invited to join a session of wine tour and tasting. Discover the 7-hectare vineyard with its terroir specificity: micro-climate, plots and grape varieties. Appreciate the newly renovated fermentation area with stainless steel and oak vats. Walk into the state-of-the-art cellar with oak barrels on the Oxoline rotational rack. After the modern facilities, go through a kilometre long of old underground tunnel used in the past for stone excavation. Nowadays, this amazing underground gallery is where wines are matured in oak barrels.

Château Franc Mayne produces annually about 30 000 bottles of red wine:

• Château Franc Mayne, Saint Emilion Grand Cru Classé, as the main wine

• Les Cèdres de Franc Mayne, Saint Emilion Grand Cru, as the second wine

Enjoy the advantage of being on the hill and in the middle of grape vines. The scenery is picturesque and guests can walk in the vineyard or to the nearby areas by taking small ancient roads dated from the Roman period. A walk to the medieval town of Saint Emilion takes only 20 minutes.
