Château Talbot

Saint-Julien, Médoc, Left Bank, Bordeaux

"For many, Talbot embodies the ideal Saint Julien, a generous bouquet, extremely stable and dependable during aging," emphasize Bettane and Desseauve in their Guide to French Wines.

Talbot is one of the most famous Médoc wines. Having been in the same family for more than a century, this estate with more than one hundredhectares of vines produces wine that is recognised for the consistent quality of its vintages. Spread over 110 hectares, stretching north to the Pavillac border. Planted on Fine Gunziang gravels with a core of fossil-rich limestone.

It’s true, Talbot is a champion of longevity; even young Talbot is pleasant and rounded, always characterized by silky, mild and very civilized tannins.Talbot possesses an expansive character. It’s never withdrawn into itself and has the courtesy of being in a good mood every day. It’s a racy wine, withcomplex marks of Havana tobacco and liquorice, classically delicious without ever the slightest hint of austerity.
