JCP Maltus, Château Teyssier, (Magnum) 2015
JCP Maltus is the personal project of our friend Jonathan Maltus, the British entrepreneur who arrived in Saint-Émilion in the late 1990s and proceeded to do things his own way. Based at Château Teyssier on the limestone plateau, this is a wine that has always operated at the ambitious end of the Maltus portfolio — low yields, meticulous selection, and the kind of concentration that right-bank Merlot delivers when it's pushed hard. The 2015 vintage gave him exceptional raw material: a warm, dry summer that built fruit intensity without sacrificing freshness, and a harvest picked at near-perfect ripeness. A decade on, this is in a lovely spot. The primary fruit is integrating, the oak has knitted in, and there's a composed, almost meditative quality to it now — dark plum, graphite, a whisper of iron and dried herbs. The tannins are polished but still purposeful.
Mullineux, Syrah Schist 2017
The Mullineux Syrah Schist 2017 is a standout wine from the Swartland region of South Africa, showcasing the unique terroir of its schist soils. This wine is part of Mullineux's single-terroir series, which focuses on expressing the distinct characteristics of different soil types. This medium-bodied Syrah has a structured, yet refined tannic profile. It pairs excellently with grilled or roasted meats, particularly lamb or beef, and can also complement dishes with earthy flavours like mushrooms or dishes with a smoky element.
