James Suckling, tasting note published in January 18th 2024

A juicy and attractive red, with notes of plums and berries, complemented by hazelnuts and chocolate. Medium-bodied, creamy tannins, and a delicious finish. Extremely well done.

Château Teyssier

Château Teyssier is one of the best-selling Saint-Émilion Grand Crus, produced to high-quality standards. This wine uses the same equipment and methods applied to our top-end Single Vineyard wines. A true “Sunday claret” – but for every Sunday!

Viticulture: This wine comes from a blend of several plots located on the southwest plain of the Saint-Émilion appellation, acquired since 1994. This terroir, mainly composed of sandy, gravelly soils, imparts an accessible and elegant personality to the wine.

Winemaking: Made from 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, the vines are pruned using the double guyot system. Secondary shoots are removed, and green harvesting is carried out to ensure low yield and higher concentration. The grapes are handpicked into small boxes and undergo a rigorous sorting, berry by berry, after destemming. They are transported on conveyors, preserving their integrity, and fermented in stainless steel tanks after cold maceration. The wine is aged in French oak barrels, 25% of which are new.

Something unusual: Château Teyssier is also a home. It’s common to find dogs, cats, and children on the property, alongside busy winemakers. We produce about 15,000 cases of this wine, which, thanks to its fair pricing, can be found in prestigious places such as first and business-class airline cabins, Wimbledon, backstage at the greatest rock & roll band, and on the table of one of the leading Formula 1 teams.
