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.

Summary

Château Talbot 1985, a distinguished red blend from Bordeaux's Saint-Julien, showcases the elegance of a fully mature wine. With a heritage dating back to the 1918 ownership by the Cordier family, this estate is among the largest in the Médoc, named after the notable John Talbot. This wine presents a classic Cabernet-dominant profile with a medium body and refined tannins. Its aromatic notes include cedar, cassis, and tobacco, complemented by hints of graphite and forest floor. Ideal for discerning palates, it represents a remarkable value for a 4ème Grand Cru Classé, best enjoyed after gentle decanting to separate sediment.
