Teyssier is a solid performer, gracing the 1st class lounges of several airlines, the choice of a Grand Prix or two, and recommended by critics like The Wall Street Journal's Will Lyons and Master of Wine Tim Atkin.
"Currant, dried-flower, citrus-zest and sandalwood aromas, with hints of sliced mushrooms. It’s medium-to full-bodied with firm, powdery tannins and fresh acidity. Fragrant, pretty and precise. Really fine. Try from 2024." 94/100, James Suckling
"A Jonathan Maltus has begun working with the increasingly popular Thomas Duclos for Chateau Teyssier, and either this or generosity of the vintage, has resulted in potentially one of the best wines from this estate ever. The harvest was from September 20th until October 4th for the Merlot, and the Cabernet Franc was picked between October 8th and the 12th. The alcohol is 14.5%, the pH 3.53. It has a lovely nose, expressive, pure, bright and open, with perfumed red plums and a chalky freshness giving it a sense of purity and lift. A serious. broad and textural palate, rich and filled with spiced plums fruit, with a peppery energy through the middle. There is plenty of grip, velvety and lightly grained, and bright acidity as well. Substantial, broad, convincing, with a chalky perfume, this is indeed potentially one of the best vintages yet for Teyssier..." 92-94/100, Chris Kissack, The Wine Doctor
"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." 91-93/100, Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Advocate
"Big and rich, this balanced and accessible wine is generous both with its black fruits and smooth texture. The density and core of tannins do not detract from the full, fruity character. The wine will develop quickly. Drink from 2023." 90/100, Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast
