This wine is presented in its original wooden case.

A polished, fruit-forward Saint-Émilion built mainly on Merlot, the 2019 shows ripe plum and blackberry, soft spice and fine, supple tannins. It’s drinking beautifully now, with enough structure to hold for a few more years.

Teyssier is a solid performer, gracing the first-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. It’s also one of our key picks and best-value reds — great for impressing at dinner parties without trying too hard.
