        Reviews:

        • Wine Advocate: With smoke, espresso, black and red pit fruits you also find a distinctive salty edge to the tannins here. This wine has a lot to offer. There is enough concentration and freshness found in its long finish that you can keep busy tasting this over the next two decades. The blend was made from 83% Merlot and 17% Cabernet Franc.
        • James Suckling: This wine displays the textured, tight mineral character for which it has become known. It comes from a small parcel on the plateau of Saint-Émilion close to the village. The wine combines powerful tannins and solid black fruits.

        Producer Information

        Les Asteries takes its name from the specific type of limestone found in the Saint Emilion terroir. This specific type of limestone is incredibly dense. And because of its thick, hard qualities, the stone has often been used as building material for its dense qualities. Les Asteries is owned by Jonathan Maltus. Jonathan Maltus is a very well-known vintner today in St. Emilion who counts among his holdings wineries including Le Dome, Vieux Chateau Mazerat, Chateau Laforge, and Chateau Teyssier. In fact, Les Asteries, which made its official debut in 2005, along with Le Carre. Those 2 wines were the first of the single-vineyard wines that Jonathan Maltus produces today. Starting with the 2013 vintage, Thomas Duclos began acting as their consultant. The 1.2-hectare vineyard for Les Asteries is planted to 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc. The vines used to produce Les Asteries are located near Chateau Fonroque and not far from Chateau Clos Fourtet, just outside the beautiful village of St. Emilion. The diminutive vineyard of Les Asteries has old vines. In fact, some of the vines are eighty years old! The terroir consists of clay over limestone soils. The fruit is cropped to a low, four bunches per vine here. Because no actual cellars or chateau for Les Asteries exists, the wine of Les Asteries is made at their other, larger, Right Bank estate, Chateau Teyssier. The modern cellars of Chateau Teyssier ensure that all the wine is moved by gravity flow. Vinification takes place in temperature-controlled, wood vats. Malolactic fermentation takes place in barrels and the wine is then aged in up to 100% new, French oak barrels.
