Château Franc Mayne is a 7-hectare wine estate located in Saint-Émilion, on the hillside leading to the Côte de Franc. Classified Grand Cru since 1954, it stands out for its two hectares of underground galleries, former stone quarries now partly converted into a barrel cellar. The estate hosts a sound-and-light show staged within these galleries, one of the earliest of its kind in the Bordeaux wine region.
