Talbot 2016 Magnum - Saint-Julien

Château Talbot 2016 - 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 wines of the Médoc. For a century, it has remained a family affair. The estate is recognized for the consistency and quality of its vintages.

If it knows how to be round and flattering in its youth, it is also an excellent wine for aging.

The estate produces three wines:

- Château Talbot: the estate's first wine, aged in barrels for fifteen months in 50% new barrels.

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

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

By filling out this form we ask ourselves if we have ever been really disappointed by a Talbot. And the answer is no! Talbot is the lifeline of the taster, the wine that will please everyone in all circumstances. Any lover of Bordeaux, what am I saying, of wine, must have at least one in the cellar, ready to be tasted.

It is a Talbot a little more tender and accessible than usual that is offered to us for this 2016 vintage. It is surprisingly round and suave despite its young age (like many Bordeaux for the 2016 vintage, which is generally very successful). But make no mistake, there is still a Talbot with smoky and spicy notes and aromas of licorice and slightly woody black fruits.
