I have just returned from a week in Bordeaux staying with Jonathan Maltus at Château Teyssier in Saint-Émilion where we re-tasted and drank the 2020 Vintage Claret he makes for us. We both agreed that it just gets better and better as it approaches full maturity.

This not only reflects what a great vintage 2020 was, but also Jonathan's consummate skill as a winemaker - for which he was awarded an OBE by our late Queen.

At our recent spring tasting in South Kensington it was one of the best reds on show, drawing considerable praise from all who tasted it.

How does the wine taste? Customer Reviews (1)
It has a wonderfully rich nose with aromas of soft red berry fruit. It's full bodied and very fresh, with good structure and soft tannins and everything in balance - merlot at its best in this great vintage. I recommend opening the bottle an hour or so before drinking to allow its full flavour to open up.

Vintage Claret - always fantastic and outstanding VFM.

"This classic Saint-Émilion from the English producer Jonathan Maltus has vibrant notes of blackcurrants and a dry finish."
Will Lyons, Sunday Times
"Sourced from Saint-Émilion and neighbouring appellations, this is made by Johnathan Maltus, perhaps best known for his super Right Bank 'garage wine', 'Le Dôme'. This Merlot-dominated blend has smooth, concentrated aroma of plums and blackcurrant, an elegant little hint of Sandalwood spice in the background. It's a big, caressing mouthful of luscious Merlot on the palate, with very sweet and soft tannins, but a little liquorice twist of bittersweetness from the acid, oak and tannin does give a pert, fresh finish too. With 14.5% alcohol it is ripe and full, a bit of a contrast to the Petite Sirène, but really rather delicious."
Tom Cannavan, WINE-PAGES.COM
"Made by Jonathan Maltus he of Le Dôme and Château Teyssier, and famously the first Englishman to get a perfect 100/100 score from Robert Parker its full of ripe, juicy, bramble fruit and boasts a wonderful softness thanks to its luscious Merlot-dominant fruit. "
Jonathan Ray, The Spectator (previous vintage)
