Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

Chateau Teyssier, St Emilion Grand Cru, 2020

Jonathan Maltus' Teyssier is probably the largest production from St Emilion, some 400,000 bottles will be made in 2022, and we have to say, the level of quality is remarkable. Head winemaker, Neil Whyte is assisted by superstar consultant oenologist, Thomas Duclos. The person responsible for the fiche technique is still living in the past. A typo we are assured. Harvest dates, whilst not the first in St Emilion, are significantly earlier than they used to be, capturing ripe, fresh fruit characteristics. Suggestions of brambly fruit on the nose with spicy oak. The palate is alive with a core of loganberry and cassis. Well-judged tannins frame the fruit leading to a salty, refreshing finish. 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc.

The 2020 Teyssier is a blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc. Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, it leaps from the glass with notes of kirsch, mulberries, and black raspberries, plus hints of clove oil and fragrant earth. The medium-bodied palate is zippy and refreshing, with a fine-grained texture supporting the youthful red and black berry flavors, finishing on a mineral note.

Neal Martin, Vinous

The 2020 Teyssier has a sweet plush bouquet with raspberry coulis and mulberry, a touch of black olive in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with light tannins, very smooth and easygoing, quite savory towards the soy-tinged finish. Enjoy this over the next 5 to 7 years.
