Critics scores
94 Robert Parker
Blended of 83% Merlot and 17% Cabernet Franc and displaying a deep garnet-purple color, the 2015 Les Asteries is scented of cast-iron pan, beef drippings and garrigue over a core of warm plums and black cherry compote with a waft of underbrush and truffles. Full-bodied, rich, concentrated and with a firm frame of velvety tannins, it has a refreshing backbone lifting the densely packed fruit to a long, earthy and mineral-laced finish.
94 Wine Spectator
Very solid core of almost unctuous raspberry and plum fruit bursts forth, giving this an exuberant feel, while solidly grippy licorice and singed vanilla notes fill in on the dense finish. Maybe a touch pumped up in the end, but there’s good freshness here to wait this out.—J.M.

93 James Suckling
Very attractive rich, red berries with fresh red flowers, baking spices and dark, earthy aromas. The palate has an impressive build, gathering fleshy presence and rich, dark-berry flavors as it runs into a long, regal finish. Try from 2022
17 Rene Gabriel
Sattes Purpur-Granat, dicht in der Mitte, lila Schimmer aussen. Würziges Bouquet, zeigt Darjeelingnoten, Lakritze und Black Currant. Im Gaumen mit sehr konzentriert wirkender Frucht, diese ist tendenziell süss und zeigt kompottige Ansätze. Irgendwie wirkt der Wein gekocht und gemacht. Die Vinifikation ist sehr modern. 17/20 2021 – 2035

Producer
Château Teyssier
This leading Grand Cru Classé estate, Château Teyssier is celebrated around the world for its imitable handcrafted fine-wines. Progressively growing in size and quality since the 1700s, this wine-producing tract is now the flagship property and residence of Englishman Jonathan Maltus and his family. Purchased in 1994, right in the middle of the pivotal garage movement, the Saint-Émilion château gained recognition for their oenological technologies and viticultural passion culminated by their wine, Le Dome. Today, the over 50-hectare vine covered estate stretches across the village-hugging Cru Classé terroirs of the appellation, producing eight wines ranging from estate to limited-production single-vineyard bottles. The modern vinification practices, headed by Neil Whyte start with pre-fermentation maceration, followed by malolactic in barrel and ageing on the lees for added richness. Each blend is produced in the same spirit of excellence, the wines are soft, attractive, subtly spicy, dark and plummy examples of the region.
