The 2022 Château Teyssier Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Half Bottle (375ml) is a beautifully balanced Right Bank Bordeaux from Jonathan Maltus' respected Saint-Émilion estate. The outstanding 2022 vintage showcases a Merlot-led blend with excellent fruit purity, freshness and structure. Presented in a convenient half-bottle format, it offers an approachable expression of Saint-Émilion while retaining the depth and elegance expected from the appellation. The nose reveals aromas of black cherry, blackberry and ripe plum, complemented by violet, cedar, cocoa and subtle baking spice.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with silky tannins and vibrant acidity. Flavours of dark berries, cassis and liquorice are layered with hints of graphite, gentle French oak and savoury spice, leading to a long, smooth finish. The balance between ripe fruit and refined structure makes it enjoyable in its youth while allowing for further bottle development.
Ben's Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this half bottle is an excellent choice for those looking to enjoy a premium Saint-Émilion without opening a full bottle. Pair with roast lamb, beef fillet, duck breast, mushroom risotto or aged hard cheeses. Enjoy now with a short decant or cellar for the next 8–12 years as it develops additional complexity.
