Chateau Talbot, located in the Saint-Julien appellation of Bordeaux, is revered for its historic charm, elegance, and exceptional wines. Dating back to the 17th century, the estate spans 107 hectares of vineyards planted primarily with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. The gravelly soils overlaying a clay subsoil provide excellent drainage and contribute to the richness and structure of their wines.
Under the ownership of Nancy Bignon-Cordier, Jean-Paul Bignon, and Jean Cordier, Talbot has upheld a tradition of producing wines that reflect the terroir of Saint-Julien. Their Grand Vin is celebrated for its complexity, balance, and aging potential, representing the essence of their vineyards. Meticulous oak aging enhances the wine’s texture and depth, offering layers of ripe fruit flavors, integrated tannins, and a long, persistent finish that embodies the best of Saint-Julien.
Connétable de Talbot, their second wine, offers a more approachable expression of their terroir while maintaining the estate’s commitment to quality and craftsmanship. The chateau itself is a blend of historic and modern architecture, with its iconic tower and expansive vineyards overlooking the Gironde estuary.
Chateau Talbot continues to set the standard for Saint-Julien wines, crafting wines that capture the essence of their prestigious appellation and resonate with wine enthusiasts worldwide.
