Chateau Teyssier 2020

Montagne-Saint-Emilion

Château Teyssier 2020 from Montagne-Saint-Émilion showcases the elegance and richness characteristic of this appellation. This vintage offers a compelling blend of cherries, liquorice, and floral notes, underscored by a background hint of cocoa. The palate is soft, polished, and medium-bodied, with a fresh finish of red plums and dusty cocoa. It is crafted from a classic right-bank blend, primarily Merlot and Cabernet Franc, which contributes to its opulent and smooth texture. The 2020 vintage, marked by an early harvest and hot summer, led to grapes with high alcohol potential and low acidity, resulting in a wine that is both approachable and enjoyable upon release, yet capable of ageing gracefully.
