The structure is well-balanced, with firm tannins and a long, elegant finish. The 2019 vintage is considered one of the best from this estate, with the Cabernet Franc adding a backbone that complements the voluptuous Merlot.
Chateau Teyssier has a storied history, with its current success attributed to Jonathan Maltus, who took over the estate in 1994 and introduced innovative winemaking techniques. Under his guidance, the estate has consistently produced high-quality wines that reflect the unique terroir of Saint-Emilion.
