The Owners

 
British Jonathan Maltus was born in Lagos, Nigeria (at a time when that part of the world was pink on the map!) and educated in England from seven years old.

He used to be in Project Management and then did a couple of year learning about making wine in Cahors (1992/3) before buying Teyssier in 1994.

Jonathan is married to South African Lyn, and they have two sons, aged eight and five.

 
Location

Château Teyssier is situated in Saint Emilion. Since Maltus purchased the property in 1994, a completely new team has transformed the wine and the estate. Renovation in every sense – estate, vineyard, winery, barrel cellar, and the fundamental approach to making wine means that Château Teyssier is widely regarded as a new-wave, modern-style wine from Saint Emilion. Most importantly the wine is now sought after by a loyal following.
