2019 Chateau Talbot Saint-Julien Grand Cru Classé Magnum

Château Talbot owes its name to the heroic English commander Connetable Talbot, who was killed in 1453 at the Battle of Castillon. The largest and one of the oldest Château of Saint Julien, is ideally situated a short distance from the Gironde, where the vineyards lie on a subsoil of fine gravel and produce one of the most beautiful red wines of Saint Julien. The popular Château Talbot makes wines with a good price-quality ratio. In the last 10 years, a lot has been invested in equipment and the vineyards and that is mainly why they make good consistent top Bordeaux year in and year out, which are still relatively affordable.

The 2019 Talbot contains a high proportion (69%) of Cabernet Sauvignon, higher than in previous vintages. Bottled in May 2021, the wine retains its sharply defined and focused bouquet of blackberry aromas with pencil shavings, hints of raspberry and cedar. Simply classic Saint-Julien. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannins and excellent acidity. Much more coherent and substantial than previous vintages. There is a touch of spice towards the lingering finish, revealing tobacco and gravelly notes. Talbot has made a great wine in 2019 that will age with style. This is a 1.5 litre magnum.
