Talbot 2005 - Saint-Julien

Chateau Talbot 2005 - Saint-Julien

4th Grand Cru Classé in 1855

Château Talbot is a 110 ha estate in one piece.

Talbot is one of the most famous vintages of the Médoc. For a century, it has remained a family affair. The estate is renowned for the consistency and quality of its vintages. While it can be round and flattering in its youth, it is also an excellent wine for laying down.

The estate produces three wines:

- Château Talbot: the estate's first wine, aged in barrels for fifteen months

- Le Connétable de Talbot: second wine from vines younger than the first wine, aged 12 months in barrels

- Le Caillou Blanc: an atypical white wine for the Médoc because it comes from Cordier's desire to replant white vines in Saint-Julien, it is aged in barrels for 12 months and then on lees for 9 months.

By filling out this form we ask ourselves if we have ever been truly disappointed by a Talbot. And the answer is no! Talbot is the taster's lifeline, the wine that will please everyone in all circumstances. All Bordeaux lovers, or rather wine lovers, must have at least one in their cellar, ready to be tasted.

Special features of the 2005 vintage:

2005 is unanimously hailed as an anthology vintage in Bordeaux. The exceptional maturity of the grapes, combined with perfectly controlled yields, has made it possible to produce intense, balanced wines with very great aging potential. Wine lovers often consider 2005 as a collector's vintage.
