2018 Chateau Teyssier Saint-Emilion

Vinous Media (VM)

The 2018 Teyssier retains the opulent nose that I noticed from barrel, with dates and black cherry fruit, redolent of a red from Stellenbosch in a quirky way. The palate is ripe, a little more controlled than 12 months ago, those minty notes still tincturing the sweet black fruit. The light finish just lacks a bit of grip and length. Fine, but maybe a bit trop for those with a goût anglicisé (presuming that exists.) - Neal Martin - 03/08/2021

Wine Advocate (WA)

Teyssier is from the JCP Maltus portfolio of skillfully crafted Saint-Émilion wines. Neil White is the head winemaker and Thomas Duclos is a consultant here. The 2018 Teyssier is composed of 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc, picked September 20 to October 12, with a 3.53 pH and 14.8% alcohol. Deep purple-black colored, it leaps from the glass with bold, vibrant scents of crushed black and red cherries, mulberries and black raspberries with touches of fallen leaves, roses and blackcurrants. Medium to full-bodied, the palate exudes energetic freshness, with soft, plush tannins blanketing the juicy fruit, finishing with a skip in its step. - Lisa Perrotti-Brown - 04/15/2019
