Pontet Teyssier Ch. Saint Emilion Grand Cru is a premium red wine produced in the Saint-Émilion appellation of the Bordeaux region of France. This wine is made from a blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc grapes, grown in the vineyards surrounding the historic Pontet Teyssier chateau.

This Bordeaux wine comes from the Côtes de Blaye appellation which is known for providing some of the best value wines. It offers a medium body with intriguing and generous notes of black currants, blueberries, tobacco and mild spices. It's perfect balance and soft tannins make it a great accompaniment to any meal.

The excellent 2016 Pouilly-Fuissé Les Cras Vieilles Vignes Cuvée Claude Denogent offers up aromas of ripe pears, confit citrus, vanilla pod and mint, followed by a medium to full-bodied, satiny and layered palate that's deep and powerful but more structured than the voluptuous Clos Reyssié, built around ripe acids and chalky dry extract.

Jean-Philippe feels this is the perfect example of Meursault. There is a nice touch of gunflint reduction on the nose, which leads into intense stone fruit before tightening up again with a twist of lime acidity on the finish.

65% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc, 10% Petit Verdot.
