Talbot
Chateau Talbot is named after Connetable Talbot an Englishman and governor of Guyenne who died in the battle of Castillon in 1453. This big single plot estate in St Julien regularly exceeds its classification. Their wine has soft fruit with a sturdy structure that ages well. They also make a small amount of excellent white.

Vinous - Neal Martin (93)The 2015 Talbot shows much better now than just a year ago. Here it has a much more intense bouquet than Gruaud Larose and Lagrange. Upfront blackberry and bilberry scents, cedar and subtle mint aromas lend complexity with time in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy tannin on the entry, a fine bead of acidity with layers of graphite-infused black fruit. I love the precision on the finish here and the persistence is superb. Impressive. Tasted blind at the Southwold 2015 Bordeaux tasting. |
