About the winemaker
Jonathan Maltus came into contact with a winemaker in southern France in his thirties. In exchange for help in sales, he learned the craft of winemaking from this winemaker. Meeting this winemaker changed his life forever. Two years later, in 1994, Jonathan Maltus bought the dilapidated Chateau Teyssier to realize his dream: to make wines in Saint Emilion and then the best! This period in the 1990s is known as the period when new winemaking methods were emerging in this region and the winemakers who introduced this were also called garagistes. Jonathan was at the center of this new group of winemakers and soon his single vineyard wine Le Dôme was counted among the top 3 wines in the region. Now more than 20 years later, Jonathan has an impressive array of wines, all from selected vineyards with a special terroir. The Chateau Teyssier is his home and its vineyards now cover some 20 hectares.

Details
| Vineyard | The vineyard for Le Carré is located a stone's throw from Les Asteries, is only 1.05 hectares in size and planted in 1956. This vineyard is separated only by a wall from the famous Clos Fourtet and was acquired from Chateau Canon in 2005. Despite having the same grapes as Les Asteries and being located not far from it, the two parcels are not used for one wine. This has everything to do with the terroir which is very different. Here the soil is richer in clay and limestone. Grape composition: 80% merlot, 20% cabernet franc |
|---|---|
| Vinification | After the manual harvest there is a strict selection of the grapes. First a check of the bunches and after destemming the grapes are checked again one by one. This is followed by pressing and the must is then put into large wooden barrels for fermentation. The malolactic fermentation takes place in French oak. On this, the wine is aged for 18 months. |
