The Winery

Château Talbot

Château Talbot is one of the largest and most influential winemaking powerhouses in all of Médoc and is recognized and celebrated throughout the world. Situated in the heart of Saint-Julien, this outstanding Château spans over 250 acres on the banks of the estuary of the Gironde. Bordering the Pauillac appellation, its terroir is characterized by fine gravel and limestone over the well-drained hilltops. Talbot’s red wines age as gracefully as one would expect for an acclaimed Right Bank Bordeaux, but are also very approachable young. This self-described “extrovert” of a wine shows off fine flavors and layers of cigar wrappers and licorice and simply a cellar essential.

Tasting Notes

WS93
Beautiful aromas of raspberries, Indian spices, crushed flowers and berries. Full-bodied, with a solid core of ripe fruit and silky tannins. Long and delicious. A very fine and pretty wine. Best Talbot…
WA93
This was a strong performance (better than my original notes suggested) by the 2000 Talbot. Close to full maturity, it exhibits a dense ruby/plum/purple color in addition to a subtle herbaceousness intermixed with smoked meats, black currants, licorice, cedar, and foresty notes. Rich and full-bodied with light tannins, and a slightly richer, more savory, broader, deeper style than I remember, it should drink well for 10-15 years.
