Château du Mayne
Xavier Perromat

Caroline and Xavier Perromat officially took over the Chateau du Mayne in 2012, though the estate has been in the Perromat family for several generations. It was the first property acquired by Jean Perromat, who went on to become the head of the Syndicat des Vignerons de Cérons. The domaine is comprised of 4 hectares of vines surrounded by woods, and has a deep gravel soil above a sublayer of limestone rich in marine star-fish fossils.
The wines are a reflection of the smallest appellation in Bordeaux - Cérons, a subregion within Graves that also produces sweet botrytis wines, Before taking over the Chateau du Mayne, Xavier worked with his extended family at the domaine, and Caroline worked at Chateau Haut-Bailly. The winemaking reflects their desire to stay true to the tradition of Bordeaux, and create terroir-driven wines that offer great elegance and value.
