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.
