Jonathan Maltus's 2015s are rich and powerful, which is to say very much in the style of the year. At the moment, the site signatures are not as well defined as they often are, especially in the Le Carré, Le Pontet and Les Astéries. The 2015s spent about five weeks on the skins (including cold soak), which is a bit longer than normal. New oak goes up to 80% in the top selections. Over time, harvest dates have moved up slightly, the wines spend less time in oak than they used to and new oak has come down from a high of 200%. Still, these remain some of the most unctuous, richly textured Saint-Émilions readers will come across.
