Another Saint-Émilion estate under the ownership and direction of Jonathan Maltus, Les Asteries made its debut in 2005 and takes its name from the specific type of limestone found in the local terroir. From the exceptional 2016 vintage, this is a blend of 83% Merlot and 17% Cabernet Franc that is thoroughly modern in feel. It is rich and full-bodied, with notes of mineral-tinged black fruits, dried herbs, liquorice and cigar smoke.

The 2016 vintage of Les Asteries, presented in an expansive 1800cl format, is a testament to the remarkable 2016 growing season in Saint-Émilion. Crafted from meticulously selected Merlot grapes, this wine embodies the signature characteristics of the Les Asteries collection, expressing both the power and elegance of its limestone-driven terroir. It is a rare and sought-after expression, ideal for significant occasions and collectors. This 2016 vintage reveals a complex bouquet of ripe black fruits, violets, and subtle mineral notes. The palate is full-bodied with a silky texture, revealing layers of black cherry, plum, and a touch of spice, leading to a long, mineral-infused finish.
