Undeniably, Talbot is one of the most famous Médoc wines. Having been in the same family for more than a century, this estate with more than one hundred hectares of vines produces wine that is recognized for the consistent quality of its vintages.

'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.

It's true, Talbot is a champion of longevity, which doesn't prevent him from being kind and round even in his earliest youth, always marked by silky, smooth, very civilised tannins.

Talbot is outgoing by nature, never withdrawn, and has the courtesy to be in a good mood every day.

It is a racy wine, with its complex notes of Havana and liquorice, deliciously classic without ever being austere.
