Chateau Teyssier has a long history in the Bordeaux region. In fact, wine has been produced at Chateau Teyssier since the 1700’s. The estate dates back to at least 1714. In fact, during the nineteenth century, Teyssier was the largest wine producer in their sector of the Right Bank. Currently, 10 different wines are produced at this renovated property and each are owned by Jonathan Maltus . With all those wines coming from the estate, perhaps once again, they are the largest operation in the sector.
Tim Atkins considers Chateau Teyssier one of the ten most underrated Bordeaux wines
Jonathan Maltus caught the wine bug after selling his engineering company in 1991. Chateau Teyssier was bought in 1994 by Jonathan Maltus. One of the first moves Jonathan Maltus made was to bring in the noted consultant, Gilles Pauquet as his consultant. At that time of the original purchase, the Bordeaux vineyards consisted of 5.5 hectares in the Vignonet sector of St. Emilion. Jonathan Maltus increased the size of the Teyssier vineyard almost ten times. Currently, the vineyards of Chateau Teyssier are over 50 fifty hectares in size!
