Den Chateau Laforge 2020 Saint Emilion beschreibt Jeb Dunnuck wie folgt:
94 The deep ruby-hued 2020 Château Laforge comes from a hillside vineyard and is brought up in a mix of new and used oak. Full-bodied, concentrated, and mouth-filling on the palate, with sweet tannins, it has textbook aromatics of ripe blackcurrants, smoke tobacco, chocolate, leather, and gravelly earth. This complex, layered, incredibly satisfying Saint-Emilion will drink beautifully for upwards of two decades.

The 2019 Laforge has really filled out nicely. Black cherry, plum, chocolate, tobacco, licorice and lavender build beautifully with some aeration. The 2019 is sumptuous, bold and racy, Laforge is an absolute joy to taste today. This flamboyant, racy Saint-Émilion will be a jewel to drink now and over the next few years.

The 2019 Teyssier (Saint-Émilion) is soft, fruity and easygoing, all of which make it a terrific choice for drinking now and over the next handful of years. Sweet floral and spice notes brighten the finish. As it so often is, Teyssier is a charmer. 91 Punkte.

The 2020 Château Teyssier is terrific, with a medium to full-bodied, round, lush style as well as ample red and black fruits, some orange blossom and floral, spicy nuances, fine tannins, and a great finish. It's an undeniably delicious, fruit-forward Bordeaux to drink over the coming 4-6 years.
 

Die Degustationsnotiz des Wine Advocate zum Chateau Teyssier 2020 Saint Emilion :
The 2020 Teyssier is composed of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc. The Merlot was picked from September 15th to October 1st, and the Cabernet Franc from September 30th to October 8th. It has an alcohol of 13.9% and a pH of 3.5. It is aging in French oak barrels, 25% new. Deep garnet-purple colored, it leaps from the glass with exuberant notes of baked red and black plums, blackberry preserves and mulberries, plus touches of hoisin, licorice and lilacs. The medium-bodied palate delivers a great intensity of black fruits with an approachable, soft texture and a racy line, finishing refreshing.
 

91-93 Punkte von Fallstaff
Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Zart kräuterwürzig unterlegte schwarze Beerenfrucht, reife Pflaumen, tabakige Nuancen. Saftig, gute Komplexität, feine Fruchtsüße, reife Tannine, mineralisch und anhaftend, etwas Nougat, gute Frische, ein vielseitiger Speisenbegleiter.
 

Weinbereitung: Die Trauben werden in den frühen Stunden des Tages geerntet, wenn die Temperatur noch niedrig ist, um die Frische der Früchte zu erhalten. Bei der Ankunft im Weingut werden die Trauben direkt unter CO2-Schutz in einer pneumatischen Presse gepresst. Der Saft wird dann 24 Stunden lang gekühlt, bevor er in Edelstahltanks bei kontrollierter Temperatur gärt. Nach der Gärung bleibt der Wein noch einige Wochen auf der Hefe, um den Körper auszufüllen.

Degustationsnotiz von Head Winemaker Neil Whyte: "Zartes, blasses Rosa mit goldenen Reflexen. In der Nase dominieren zerstossenen Erdbeeren, rote Kirschen und Ananas mit einem Hauch von Minze, einem Hauch von Wacholder und weißen Blumennoten. Am Gaumen ist er fein ausbalanciert, frisch und üppig zugleich, mit knackigen Zitrusaromen, die in einen langen, erfrischenden Abgang münden."
