Les Astéries Red Bordeaux
Fresh, Fruity Smooth & Elegant

Winery Story

Château Teyssier is a renowned Saint Emilion Grand Cru winery that dates back to 1714, with vineyards and management passing through many h... (more...)ands until Jonathan and Lynn Maltus purchased the property in the 1990s. They revived the estate with technological advancements, two state-of-the-art wineries and a tripling of the vineyard size. The result: wines of exceptional quality and taste.

Tasting Note

This Single Vineyard wine is made from a single hectare on 'Astéries' (rock limestone) soil between Château Fonroque and Clos Fourtet. The... (more...) vines survived the frost of 1956 and are up to eighty years old. ‘Panachéed’ in the old style (Merlot interspersed with Cabernet Franc to ensure easy blending in the days before pumps) they are cropped down to four bunches per vine to reflect the terroir of the parcel.This red Bordeaux blend carries aromas of red cherry, minerals and dark chocolate. Velvety tannins and sweet berry, cherry and chocolate flavors lead into a fruity finish.
