The Teycheney family has been cultivating vineyards since 1837, when the first generation settled in the heart of Entre-Deux-Mers, on the family’s historic estate. They are perhaps most widely known for Cheteau Fleur de La Lisse from Saint Emilion.
Since 2015, the 6th generation, Caroline Teycheney, has been in charge of the vineyards, which now cover 62 hectares in Entre-Deux-Mers and 32 hectares in Saint-Émilion Grand Cru. The vineyard from which the Maison 1982 Réserve is produced is located on the edge of the medieval village of Saint-Émilion, at the foot of the clay and limestone hill. It has been cultivated with passion using organic and biodynamic methods since 2016, with the utmost respect for man and nature. The best Merlot plots are meticulously worked and blended to produce the estate’s finest cuvées.
Organic wine certified AB (Agriculture Biologique).
