Jean-François Meynard
Château Roque Le Mayne has been in the Meynard family for three generations. The property is on gently rolling hills of Castillon, a “satellite” of Saint-Emilion. Jean-François Meynard is the current proprietor, managing his 14 hectares with in “lutte raisonée,” and harvesting manually with (some would say) obsessive sorting when the fruit arrives at the winery. The vines grow on the clay-limestone plateau above the right bank of the Dordogne, on the same ridge, and only a few kilometers away from vineyards that produce the most expensive wines in Saint-Émilion.
