Château Teyssier, from the prestigious Saint-Émilion region, is a Bordelais classic produced by Jonathan Maltus. Known for crafting modern yet traditionally-rooted wines, Maltus has elevated Château Teyssier with a blend primarily of Merlot and Cabernet Franc. The vines grow in limestone-rich soils contributing to the wine’s distinct minerality. The wine undergoes meticulous winemaking, with fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks followed by aging in French oak barrels for about 12 to 18 months, enhancing its complex flavors. Château Teyssier has received accolades for its balance and finesse, often noted by wine critics for its accessibility and depth of flavor.
