Chateau Talbot is one of the UK's best known wineries to the British public, which is not surprising given that it is named after John Talbot, Earl of Shrewsbury, who in 1453 suffered the ignominy of losing the battle and allowed Bordeaux and its vineyards to fall back under French control after having belonged to the British Crown for over 340 years. This is a great St Julien vintage that every lover of great wines must taste.

The wine of Château Talbot
The red wine of Talbot is generally a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (66%), Merlot (26%), Cabernet Franc (3%) and Petit Verdot (5%). Vinification includes 18 months maturation in small oak barrels (50%). New).
Talbot is renowned for its consistency and is one of the most carefully crafted and reliable clarets in the St Julien Cru Classé. The best examples are richly aromatic with a bouquet of cedarwood and vanilla-scented blackcurrant fruit and a mouthful of ripe, well-defined black fruits and finely integrated tannins. It is ranked 4th Cru Classé in the AOC Saint Julien in the 1855 Bordeaux wine classification.
The estate
During the last century, it belonged to the Cordier family and the red wine of the property has long been renowned for its reliability. It is one of the largest estates in the Médoc and its unique 102 hectare vineyard is located inland from the Gironde and west of the hamlet of St-Julien-Beychevelle. Georges Cordier, owner of the property in the mid-20th century, was a great lover of white wine and, determined to produce his own, took the very unusual step of planting 5 hectares of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon in his vineyard. The first white wine was produced in 1945 (Le Caillou Blanc by Ch Talbot). The aim is to make wine in a Burgundian style, aged in oak, with 80% Sauvignon Blanc giving liveliness and acidity, while the 20% Semillon imbues the wine with its weight, backbone and ageing potential.
