CHATEAU TEYSSIER GRAND CRU 2011│750ML

DESCRIPTION

Wine has been made at the estate since the 1700s. At one stage in the nineteenth century it was the largest estate in the neighborhood. At the time of purchase however it had been reduced to just five hectares of depleted vineyard. Since then a completely new team has transformed the wine and the estate. Renovation in every sense – estate, vineyard, winery, barrel cellar, and the fundamental approach to making wine means that Chateau Teyssier is widely regarded as a new-wave, modern-style wine from Saint Emilion. Most importantly the wine is now sought after by a loyal following.  Chateau Teyssier, is award winning, spicy, velvety, and ripe, but above all, pivots on its expression of fruit.
