Château Talbot 4éme Cru Classé Saint-Julien is one of the most famous Médoc wines of France.
This fine reputation is no doubt due to a mysterious combination of factors, such as the size of its vineyard, nearly one hundred hectares, and the regularity of its wine.
Nearly a century in the same family Château Talbot estate has a rich history, originating with Connétable Talbot, a famous English warrior, governor of Guyenne, defeated at the battle of Castillon in 1453.
‘For many, Talbot embodies the ideal Saint Julien, a generous bouquet, extremely stable and dependable during aging,’ emphasize Bettane and Desseauve in their Guide to French Wines.
Chateau Talbot 2004 vintage shows good concentration and complexity on the nose with aromas of cedar, dried fruits and herb with a syrupy, elegant richness on the palate.
Chateau Talbot's 2004 vintage was awarded 88/100 by Robert Parker and 89/100 by Wine Spectator.
