Merchant's description
From the benchmark St Émilion Grand Cru Château Teyssier to the iconic Pontet Labrie and Le Dôme, Jonathan Maltus—alongside head winemaker Neil Whyte—crafts one of the most impressive wine portfolios in Bordeaux and beyond. Yet, each wine distinctly bears the Maltus signature: his signature “cashmere” tannins enveloping a core of rich, succulent fruit.
