Source-supplied bottle description
Retained as supporting identification copy; the structured facts and evidence links above are kept separate.
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.
Evidence boundary
This page combines the recorded bottle identity with linked source records. An exact region-name match supplies regional context but does not prove that this bottle carries the protected designation. A vineyard is only shown as bottle-level evidence when a wine-to-vineyard link exists. BottlePicker does not infer a vineyard, soil or site climate from a retailer title.
