Château Talbot, Saint-Julien Grand Cru Classé 4ème, Bordeaux, France 2016

55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 39% Merlot, 6% Petit Verdot

Talbot is undeniably one of the most famous Médoc wines. Having been in the same family for more than a century, this estate with more than one hundred hectares of vines produces wine that is recognized for the consistent quality of its vintages.

For many, Talbot embodies the ideal Saint-Julien: a generous bouquet, extremely stable and dependable during aging.

Talbot is a champion of longevity; even young Talbot is pleasant and rounded, always characterized by silky, mild and very civilized tannins. Talbot possesses an expansive character. It’s never withdrawn into itself and has the courtesy of being in a good mood every day. It’s a racy wine, with complex marks of Havana tobacco and licorice, classically delicious without ever the slightest hint of austerity.
