Les Astéries 2005 Red (Saint-Emilion)
- Cellar Selection
- $189
Dark-hued and concentrated, this wine also has a considerable mineral character, along with intense bitter chocolate and dark plum skin flavors. It’s juicy, but also broody, massive and dominated by its solid tannins. Keep for 5–10 years.

Les Astéries 2009 Red (Saint-Emilion)
- Cellar Selection
- $195
An impressive wine. It is very structured, dominated at this stage by young tannins. It will always be a firm wine, while the excellent dark plum fruit will give it weight and richness. Age this powerful wine for at least six years.

Les Astéries 2008 Red (Saint-Emilion)
- Cellar Selection
- $100
With its classic mineral edge, dusty tannins and firm, dry structure, the wine has a core that weighs well with the severe texture. As a contrast, the fruit underneath is ripe and juicy. A wine for several years’ aging.

Les Astéries 2006 Red (Saint-Emilion)
- Cellar Selection
- Online Exclusive
- $135
As a contrast to Jonathan Maltus’s Le Carré, this single-vineyard wine, from vines situated only 100 yards away, has a taut, mineral flavor, with an initial austere character which then opens out to give dark bitter chocolate and plum skin flavors. It is potentially a richer, more impressive wine, but it needs aging for 4–5 years.
