Château Tessendey

Château Tessendey has been in the hands of the Arfeuille family since 1972. At that time, Martine and Paul-Bernard d'Arfeuille began a vast program of renovation of the vineyard and the cellars. Tessendey is gradually making a name for itself.

In 2012, forty years after his parents, Arnaud d'Arfeuille takes Tessendey in hand. With the help of his brother, he sets new ambitions for the estate, restructures certain plots, perfects the breeding process. The vineyard is placed on the heights of the commune of Saillans and forms a homogeneous whole all around the castle.

Juicy & Classic

This wine is from 30 years old vines that resides in Chateau Tessendey a family winery that started in 1972 that has now been passed on to their son in 2012. It remains a personal endeavour with an abundance of tenacity in farming practices and tenacious vinification. Which shows in this wine as vinification is pre-fermentation maceration then for 3-5 weeks then fermentation is temperature controlled cement vats then aged in 15 months in oak barrels which 20% is new oak. This savoury yet juicy red is done in Bordeaux Libournais Red style bringing lots of body and bold flavours. The nose is predominantly roasted flavours of chocolate, leather, anise and juicy blackberry. The palate is complex yet elegant, the cab franc brings some earthy flavours with a bright fruity nose of plum and ripe red fruit. The stunning long beautiful finish with plush violet and cassis.
