Château la Grande Maye
Château la Grande Maye sits in Castillon, the easternmost appellation of Bordeaux's right bank, where clay and limestone soils favor the dark-fruited intensity of Merlot. The winery's flagship red blends Merlot with Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon—a structure typical of the Côtes de Bordeaux, where secondary varieties add backbone and aromatic complexity to the region's signature varietal. Wine Enthusiast and Decanter have assessed the winery's output, reflecting the serious quality standards of this historic wine region. Castillon-Côtes de Bordeaux occupies the space between the prestige of Pomerol and the value-driven character of the broader Côtes, making it a natural home for wines that balance ripeness with restraint.
