Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

Château Teyssier, St Emilion Grand Cru, 2010

Chateau Teyssier dates back to the 18th century, however, the vineyards have expanded dramatically in the last 10 years. Jonathan Maltus has made some shrewd purchases to both increase the volume and the quality of this well liked estate. Now production is some 15,000 cases, which makes it one of if not the biggest estate in the St Emilion commune. Produced from 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc, this offers ripe black cherry notes and vanilla on the nose. The palate is packed with little black berries; very pure and seductive with ample length of flavour, real intensity, fine tannins and a delightful, fresh, pure fruit finish.

Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux

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.

Lisa Perrotti-Brown, The Wine Independent

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.

Neal Martin, Vinous

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.
