Jonathan Maltus, the only Brit in Bordeaux to have produced a Robert Parker 100-point-scoring wine, makes our Vintage Claret, but only in the very best vintages – and 2022 was without question one of those.

He sources Merlot for this cuvée from vineyards in and around Saint-Émilion, then vinifies and blends it with a touch of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc to be fruit forward and drinkable when young – which it most certainly is.

It is my house claret and always impresses my friends including those who are used to drinking some of Bordeauxs top wines.

"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)
