Merchant's description
JCP Maltus has transformed Château Teyssier into one of Saint-Émilion's most reliable estates, crafting wines that balance power with elegance on the Right Bank's clay-limestone slopes. This 2016 shows the vintage's classic structure wrapped in generous Merlot fruit, with enough backbone to age gracefully. This expression of Saint-Émilion is particularly appealing for its honest character and food-friendly style.
