2023 Chateau Talbot Saint-Julien Grand Cru Classé

Château Talbot takes its name from the heroic English commander Constable Talbot, who fell at the Battle of Castillon in 1453. The largest and one of the oldest Châteaux in Saint Julien, it is ideally situated a short distance from the Gironde, where the vineyards lie on a subsoil of fine gravel and produce one of the finest red wines of Saint Julien.

The popular Château Talbot produces wines with a good price-quality ratio. Over the last 10 years, significant investments have been made in equipment and the vineyards, and this is precisely why they produce consistently good, top-tier Bordeaux year after year, which remain relatively affordable. The Talbot is medium garnet-purple in color and opens with beautiful floral notes of roses and lavender, with a heart of cassis, blackberry, cigar box, and a hint of mint. The Talbot is medium-bodied with a lovely intensity of black and red fruit flavors, possessing a ripe, grainy texture and an appealing freshness with a tasty finish. Antoni Gallani of Vinous writes in his review of the 2020 Talbot : "The 2020 is superb, certainly the best in recent memory."
