Description
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.
FACT: The wine is in our conditioned Wine Warehouse and if you come to pick up the wine you will often also receive a nice discount . You will see your discount immediately when you choose 'Pick up' on the checkout page. We are located in Dordrecht almost next to the A16 with plenty of parking. Click here for our address.

This has aromas of cardamom, dried lemons, grapefruit pith, nutmeg and chamomile. Some orange curd and praline, too. It’s medium-bodied and full of flavor. Persistent. Drink now or hold.

From: Vingt-Vingt Vins: Bordeaux 2020 (May 2021)
The 2020 Caillou de Talbot Blanc, bottled a month prior to my visit, has a pretty lime and grapefruit scented nose. Hints of white tea emerge with time. The palate is well balanced with almond and caramelized pear notes, a touch of stem ginger emerging with time. Quite spicy, somehow, I can imagine this partnering Asian food with style thank to a scintilla of Muscat lingering on the aftertaste.

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.
