JCP Maltus - World’s End "Crossfire" Cabernet Sauvignon JCP Maltus - World’s End "Crossfire" Cabernet Sauvignon

Jonathan Maltus, an Englishman originally from Africa, has always been a strong believer that a bottle of wine should be judged by the taste of its contents over the ‘big name’ label slapped on the front. His winemaking career began in 1994, when he purchased Château Teyssier, a fine vineyard in Saint Emilion. As an early and influential figure in the garagiste movement, Jonathan Maltus introduced Le Dôme in 1996, a superb wine predominantly made from Cabernet Franc. Renowned wine critic Robert Parker consistently awards Le Dôme high scores, with remarkable ratings in the top 90s and even perfect 99 and 100-point scores for the 2009 and 2010 vintages. Additionally, the 2008 single vineyard release of Vieux Château Mazerat achieved a rare feat, receiving five stars from Decanter and standing alongside prestigious châteaux like Cheval Blanc and Ausone. Critics and wine enthusiasts alike have lauded Maltus's remarkable achievements in Bordeaux, recognizing his unwavering dedication to excellence. His philosophy can be most easily described in two parts: do things differently, and do things better. Arriving in Saint-Émilion during the ‘garage period’ in the 1990s when breaking the rules of classic Bordeaux was all the rave, Jonathan soon gained a reputation for being able to produce a range of wines which stood out just as successfully for being unique as for being top quality. Now leading dynamic teams in both Bordeaux and Napa Valley, he’s more ambitious than ever and a driving force for change. Best of all, he loves what he does - winemaking passion is the root of his success and the expertise of him and his team is proudly displayed in every bottle.
