    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    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 2022 Teyssier undergoes 20% malolactic fermentation in new French oak. Red berry fruit, mulberry and vanilla on the nose coupled with light loamy scents. The palate has a slightly tart entry, chewy, spicebox and clove with grippy finish. Give it a couple of years in bottle.

    The 2022 Teyssier, 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, is deep garnet-purple in color. It comes bounding out of the glass with exuberant notes of stewed black and red cherries, redcurrant jelly, and fruitcake, plus wafts of dried roses and Chinese five spice. The medium to full-bodied palate is plush and spicy, jam packed with red and black berry layers, finishing long and peppery. pH 3.67.

    Intense colour, and the intensity continues on the palate, which fully ripe sun-sweetened damson and black cherry fruit, laced with kirsch and crème de cassis. From 45ha of vines, with a large part coming from next to Monbousquet. One of the biggest commercial wines in St Emilion at 400,000 bottles, 3.67ph. Harvest September 15 to October 6, a late finish in the vintage. 20% malolactic and ageing in new French oak, rest of fermentation in stainless steel. One for lovers of an exuberant style.
