CHATEAU TEYNAC
Saint-Julien, Bordeaux, France
92 points - Wine Enthusiast
From the unique appellation of Saint -Julien on Bordeaux' Left Bank. The colour is a dark ruby. The nose is fresh and precise: red fruit, blossom, underlined by a fine woodiness and lightly toasted hint. The tannins are supple on the attack, full and persistent. Good spicy length, full finish, both delicate and balanced. A harmonious wine which can be appreciated in its youth.
Château Teynac is located on the plateau of Saint Julien between Ducru Beaucaillou and Gruaud Larose. 90% of the total Saint Julien area is devoted to produce classified growth. In the St Julien appellation, Château Teynac is very rare due to its small size. Some parcels of the estate had been classified and were actually part of well-known chateaux before becoming part of the vineyards of Ch. Teynac. Today, the technical team and the modern facilities help the Pairault family to produce great wines. The label says ‘Prior inter pares’: a very true statement.
