Talbot 2012 Magnum - Saint-Julien

Chateau Talbot 2012 - 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 recognized for the regularity and quality of its vintages. If 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.

We also find in 4th grand cru classé, the famous estates Duhart-Milon, Branaire-Ducru, Marquis de Terme and Prieuré-Lichine
