La Reserve Claret | Bordeaux

2006

Our house claret selected from Saint Emilion vineyards and blended exclusively for us by larger than life Jonathan Maltus, producer of Chateau Teyssier and Le Dôme, one of Saint Emilion’s greatest (and most expensive) wines. This is a really superb everyday wine and is much more than just a normal claret.

Our tasting notes

Rich fruit and berries and typical Right Bank Saint Emilion nose. Full, not over concentrated. Good long finish. Exceptional drinking claret that goes really well with food- lunch or dinner. Very good value.

About Jonathan Maltus

Jonathan is considered somewhat of a maverick in the wine making world (if you hadn’t already guessed from his photo) and has been branded a ‘cult winemaker’ by magazines like Decanter.

He bought Chateau Teyssier in 1996, the first of many Saint Emilion properties, the most notable of which is now Le Dôme, a Grand Cru estate that produces only 1000 cases a year. Le Dôme now sells for well over €1,000 a case and has been lauded by critics like Robert Parker.
