Tasting notes
The 2012 Chateau Teyssier is soft, supple and expressive. Sweet red cherry, plum, spice, mint and cinnamon all open up in the glass. Racy and beautifully layered in the glass, the 2012 is a great example of the forward, open-knit appeal of the year. As is often the case, Teyssier delivers exceptional quality for the money. The blend is approximately 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc.

Mid crimson. Easy breadth on the nose. A little simple and sweet but not exaggerated. Transparent and clean. (JR)
Teyssier offers a soft, easygoing, consumer-friendly style of St.-Emilion that is mostly Merlot with a touch of Cabernet Franc in it. The wine exhibits berry fruit, herbs, spice, moderate concentration and light tannins. Drink it over the next 5-7 years. Apr 2015, www.robertparker.com
