Saintem, Saint-Emilion grand cru, Denis Durantou 2023 En Primeur - Case of 12



£123.00


"The 2023 Saintayme is pure Merlot, as usual, picked between September 27 and October 4 and matured in 30% new oak. This is quite lush on the nose with black plum and light blueberry scents and fine purity. It clocks in at 14.6% alcohol, but that is nicely disguised. The palate is medium-bodied with a slightly powdery texture, moderate weight and good balance. There's perhaps slightly less complexity on the finish compared to the 2022 at this stage last year."

Château Teyssier

Jonathan and Lyn Maltus rescued this château in the 1990s and immediately set about an extensive renovation programme.

Investment in new technology and state-of-the-art equipment has brought the estate to the forefront of wines in Saint-Emilion. They also own other properties in the area which score very highly with critics, but the 26 hectares of Château Teyssier remain at the heart of the operation.

About En Primeur

Lying Abroad/En Primeur/In Bond Wines

Wines offered ‘Lying Abroad’ or ‘En Primeur’ provide a good way to secure some of the most sought after wines at opening prices. In addition we ensure it is the cheapest way to buy favourite mid-priced wines from Bordeaux, Burgundy and the Rhône, so please ask us for our offers or check our website for latest reports. Prices are clearly marked in our sales literature and are exclusive of duty, shipping, marine insurance and VAT. Shipment of claret and Port normally takes place around 30 months after the vintage, burgundy and Rhône usually more quickly. A second invoice for the duty, shipping, marine insurance and VAT on the value of the wine is charged at the time of shipment - view current duty rates. There are no further charges for deliveries to a UK mainland home or work address. Your Lying Abroad purchases are covered under The Bunch Code of Practice which can be sent on request or viewed here.
