The 2019 Les Astéries is a blend composed of 83% Merlot and 17% Cabernet Franc, matured in 80% new oak barrels. This wine boasts rich, formidable tannins, accompanied by luscious fruit flavours and a robust, substantial structure. The wine`s typical minerality, which underscores its well-defined character, provides a compelling contrast to the bold dark fruit elements.
96 Robert Parker
Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2019 Les Asteries wafts seductively out of the glass with fragrant notes of Ceylon tea, potpourri, forest floor and lavender over a core of Morello cherries, wild blueberries and blackberry tart with a touch of bouquet garni. Medium-bodied, refreshing and delicately crafted, the palate has wonderfully ripe, silt-like tannins and seamless freshness supporting the perfumed fruit, finishing on a lingering mineral note.
Les Asteries is from the JCP Maltus portfolio of skillfully crafted Saint-Émilion wines. Neil White is the head winemaker, and Thomas Duclos is a consultant here. The vineyard is composed of thin clay over limestone. - Lisa Perrotti-Brown

The 2019 Les Astéries is the one cuvée from Jonathan Maltus that has closed down a little, though it will open up with bottle age. The harmonious palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins, pliant and focused, displaying a touch of black pepper toward the finish and quite a persistent aftertaste. Give this three or four years in bottle. Neal Martin1st February 2022
