Chateau Teyssier, Saint Emilion Grand Cru, Bordeaux

Wine has been made at the estate since the 1700’s. From the time it was purchased by Maltus it has a completely new team thathas 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.

Eighty-five per cent Merlot with the remainder being met by Cabernet Franc, the wine originates from the communes of Saint Sulpice de Faleyrens and Vignonet. These communes provide terroir that produce a wine that may be attacked on release or laid down for a few years. Château Teyssier, is award winning, spicy, velvety, and ripe, but above all, pivots on its expression of fruit. It should drink nicely for 7-8 years.
