Château Talbot takes its name from the heroic English commander Connetable Talbot, who was killed at the Battle of Castillon in 1453. The largest and one of the oldest Château of 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 Caillou Blanc de Talbot 2023 shows a fresh, delicate bouquet of lemon, lemon oil, grapefruit, herbs and spring flowers. Medium-bodied, lean and fruity, long with an elegant core of fruit and a delicious, slightly phenolic finish. This is a blend of mainly Sauvignon Blanc supplemented with Sémillon.

Sommy Pairing Beschrijving Deze Caillou Blanc van Talbot presenteert frisse citroen- en grapefruittonen met een hint van citroenolie, kruidigheid en lenteachtige bloemigheid, medium body en een elegant, licht fenolische afdronk dankzij de Sauvignon Blanc en Sémillon blend. Daardoor vormt hij een ideaal tegenwicht bij gevogelte, witte vis, schelpdieren en salades omdat de frisse zuren en het lichte kruidige karakter vette sauzen en zeevruchten verlevendigen zonder te overheersen. Kies voor geroosterde of licht aangebraden bereidingen, ceviche of een simpele citroen-kruidenboter en frisse vinaigrette om de harmonie tussen wijn en gerecht maximaal te benutten.

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.
