Château Talbot
Château Talbot stands on the edge of an ocean of vines on the Saint-Julien-Beychevelle plateau. Managed by Lorraine Cordier and Nancy Bignon-Cordier, the daughters of Jean Cordier. Château Talbot, a Grand Cru Classé in the Saint-Julien AOC, benefits from know-how handed down through many generations. Château Talbot's vines are planted on a terroir of fine Günzian gravel, covering an area of 107 hectares, of which only 5 hectares are reserved for white wine production. For the reds, the grape varieties are dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon (67% of the vineyard), which brings tannic structure and power to the wine, complemented by 27% Merlot, which offers roundness and smoothness. Petit-Verdot (4%) is used in dashes, like spices in gastronomy. The white grape varieties are 80% Sauvignon and 20% Sémillon. The wines of the Saint-Julien appellation, including Château Talbot, are distinguished by their natural finesse and accomplished balance. Their style forms a magnificent link between the finesse of Margaux wines and the power of Pauillac wines.

"The charm of this safe bet works once again!

"What a level for Talbot's 2nd wine! Of course, it's well marked by its ageing through notes of roasting, but the bouquet also reveals nuances of dark berries. As the minutes go by, it's clearly the fruity notes that take over, and this continues right through to the finish. A structured, inviting and elegant wine!

"A Talbot that excels in its ability to reconcile freshness and fruit! ~ Yves Beck "

"On a dapper fruit pulp, Talbot confirms its new style despite the prejudices of the vintage. The nose is pleasantly deep, more plunging than slender, but the palate takes us by surprise, biting, vertical, signed by a tonic, sharp juice, finely smoked on the finish. The wine stretches out in length and persistence, for our pleasure".

Georges Cordier, the grandfather of the current owners, was very fond of white wines. He would probably have appreciated this lovely, highly aromatic cuvée, with its lively, nervous personality. A lively, fruity white on the palate, which reveals itself to be complex, with a fat structure and good volume. A highly recommendable Bordeaux! - Delivery in wooden crates for orders of 6 bottles of this wine delivered in France.
