Score 87-88/100 · Jeb Dunnuck, May 2025

Based on 80% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc, the 2024 Château Tessendey is a charming effort offering ripe black cherries, currants, tobacco, and spice, with leafy herb notes. Medium-bodied, it has a round, nicely balanced, layered mouthfeel and will unquestionably be a good wine.

Score 90/100 · Drink 2026-2035, Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux, Apr 2025

Vivid plum colour. Tight structure on the opening, this harnesses the limestone austerity of the vintage, filling it out with raspberry and blueberry fruits, with a curl of floral aromatics. Slim, savoury. Harvest October 4 to 10. Consultant Thomas Duclos, Oenoteam, d'Arfeuille family owners.

The 2024 Tessendey has commendable fruit concentration on the nose: raspberry, wild strawberry and light minty aromas. The palate is ripe on the entry with supple tannins. Well-judged acidity and a little pepperiness on the finish. This is an understated but commendable Fronsac.

A fruity and playful red with berry and mint aromas. Medium-bodied with chewy tannins. Fruity finish.
