A vineyard overlooked by a manor house built at the end of the 16th century, the \"Mayne\" was for two centuries the property of the Laveau family who acquired it in 1685. The attentive and loving care of Jean Laveau raised the reputation of the vineyard to the highest level, as evidenced by the wine prices and mentions in the F\u00e9ret. The \"Mayne\" then constituted, with Figeac and Soutard, one of the most important estates in Saint-Emilion. The game of divisions eventually dismantled the Laveau empire, which saw various owners succeed it until the beginning of the 20th century, when the Nony family became the owners of what had become, over time, \"Grand Mayne\".<\/p>\n
The Chateau represents a homogeneous group of stone buildings. Built in the 16th and 17th centuries, the castle dominates the vineyards in which it is located. The functional buildings adjoining the castle were built in the 17th century with stones extracted from regional limestone quarries. The architects of the time wanted to protect the ch\u00e2teau from intruders and the western ocean winds by constructing a long building facing due west, the rhythm of which is harmoniously broken in the centre by a paved, arched porch through which horse-drawn carriages could enter. A huge cellar and outbuildings have been added over the years to this vast complex, which is bounded by long stone and rubble walls. As for the vineyard, it is in one piece, ideally situated on the slopes and at the foot of the slopes.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
