El Enemigo Gran Enemigo Single Vineyard Gualtallary Cabernet Franc 300cl 2017
A Jeroboam of a single vineyard wine. Gran Enemigo bottling has an outstanding expression of elegance and austerity backed with wonderful minerality. Rather like a Bordeaux it carries elegance, tannins and length.
JCP Maltus, Les Astéries, (Magnum) 2022
Les Astéries is named after the limestone found in and around St Émilion and the vineyard is miniscule, even by St Émilion standards – just 1.2ha! With 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, the vines are over 80 years of age, meaning their roots often travel tens of metres down into the dense bedrock in search of water and it helps explain why the vines remained so healthy during the high heat of the vintage. From benchmark St Émilion Grand Cru Château Teyssier to icons Pontet Labrie and Le Dôme, Jonathan Maltus (with help of head winemaker Neil Whyte) has one of the most formidable ranges in Bordeaux and beyond, yet the wines always bear the Maltus stamp: his trademark “cashmere” tannins wrapped around a core rich, succulent fruit. The 2022 Les Astéries was produced exclusively for Honest Grapes, under the supervision of Rabbi Padwa of KLBD.
