Les Asteries 2015 75cl

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.
