Château Talbot owes its name to the heroic English commander Connetable Talbot, who died at the Battle of Castillon in 1453. The largest and one of the oldest Châteaus in Saint Julien, it is ideally situated a short distance from the Gironde, where the vineyards lie on a surface 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. Over the last 14 years, a lot has been invested in equipment and the vineyards, which is why they produce good, consistently top Bordeaux year in and year out, while still being relatively affordable. The Connetable de Talbot 2022 is the 2nd line of Talbot. It is a blend of 56% Cabernet Sauvignon and 44% Merlot and has been aged for 16 months in oak, of which 20% are new barrels. As with many second wines, the price/quality is more than excellent. Aromas of blackberries, blueberries, herbs and cedar on the nose. It is full-bodied with elegant tannins. Meaty and well balanced on the palate. Beautiful, pure fruit on the aftertaste. 92-93/100 James Suckling

Château Talbot winery takes its name from the heroic English commander Connetable Talbot, who died in 1453 at the Battle of Castillon. The largest and one of the oldest Château of Saint Julien, is ideally located a short distance from the Gironde, where the vineyards are on a fine pebble ground and produce one of the finest red wines of Saint Julien. The Château has belonged to the Cordier family since 1917. Several generations of this family show that they realize the importance of quality. Traditional and modern methods are used side by side. The interaction between man and nature and an age-old knowledge of this excellent terroir, produce a different wine every year, but a wine that is certainly complex and beautifully balanced.
