Château Teyssier, St Emilion Grand Cru, 2015

Ambitious purchasing has seen the Jonathan Maltus' home estate grow into one of the largest on the right bank. Total production is now up to 15,000 cases, produced from numerous, mostly sandy terroirs with a few plots on the Cote. The 2015 is produced from 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc and is cropped at about six to seven bunches per vine. It is a remarkably consistent wine that seems to iron out the fluctuating fortunes from vintage to vintage. The 2015 is sure to be one of the best value offering from the right bank. The bouquet offers up notes of griotte, gravelly cassis notes and clove. The palate is sumptuous with waves of pure loganberry and dark fruit and above all, there is an overriding sense of cohesion and harmony to the wine. Another very smart Teyssier!
