It is sold in more than 50 countries around the world, in 20 US states, and is also served in first and business class on American Airlines. The harvest for this wine is collected from the estate’s own vineyards. Chateau Teyssier’s world-renowned wine is clear proof that John Malthus can produce great wines not only from tiny plots of land, but also in larger quantities. The vines are grown on clay soil overlying a layer of limestone. The berries for this wine are hand-picked from 7 vineyards with a total area of 20.5 hectares. After fermentation and maceration, which are carried out at low temperatures, follows malolactic fermentation, carried out in new French oak barrels. Aging 99% of the wine is carried out on the lees and lasts 6 months, and the remaining 1% is aged for 12 months in French oak barrels. Between 8,500 and 12,000 cases of wine are produced annually.
