There is a great link here between the tannins, delicious red berry fruits and blackcurrants and the almost architectural structure. The wine certainly has fine fruit, a great balance, very complete, finishing gently, ripe and soft.

RVF Magazine The nose is powerful, with a slightly animal and wild side, but with depth. On the palate, it reveals itself to be vigorous, somewhat rustic in its expression, but flavourful and charming.

Very perfumed with blackberry and light wet earth. Full-bodied, with silky tannins and a long, long finish. Rich and generous for the vintage. Much better than from barrel.

There is a lot of classic charm here, with its tobacco, black raspberry, cedar and earthy character. The tannins are soft, but present, letting you know this is nice now, and will be better with a bit more time in the bottle.

Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
This may be the largest vineyard in the Médoc, with nearly 300 acres under vine. There was a period in the nineties where Talbot seemed to be a bit off form, but quality over recent vintages has displayed considerable promise. This estate is capable of producing very special wines, as anyone who has tasted their 1986 or 1982 can easily attest. The 2001, which represents only 50% of the production, is a blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, and 5% Cabernet Franc. A dense saturated rubypurple colour is followed by notes of smoked herbs, liquorice, cedar, incense, plums, and blackcurrants. The wine is medium-bodied and moderately tannic for a 2001, with good depth as well as power.

Very dry tannins but sweet palate entry. Clearly ambitious and solid. This should not disappoint. Very long and very "masculine". Lots of extract without exaggeration. Long.

Red colour. Bordeaux. Medium to good intensity. Clean nose. Medium intensity. Fruity. Spicy. Quite fresh, quite refined. Palate Tender wine on the palate and quite fruity, developing on a medium body, coated tannins without harshness. The whole is quite pleasant while remaining discreet.

Château Château Talbot
Château Talbot

Château Talbot is one of the most emblematic growths of the Saint-Julien appellation, on the left bank of Bordeaux. Classified as Fourth Grand Cru Classé in 1855, the estate benefits from strong historical renown, associated with an accessible, consistent and profoundly Médoc style. Its name, inherited from English Constable John Talbot, a prominent figure in the Hundred Years' War, testifies to the vineyard's antiquity and its roots in Bordeaux history.

The Château Talbot vineyard now extends over approximately 110 hectares, making it one of the largest classified growths in Saint-Julien. The deep gravel soils, resting on clay-sandy subsoils, offer ideal conditions for Cabernet Sauvignon, the dominant grape variety in the blend, complemented by Merlot, Cabernet Franc and a touch of Petit Verdot. This parcel diversity allows the production of balanced, precise and consistent wines.

The style of Château Talbot is distinguished by its clarity, harmonious structure and distinct aromatic expression, combining black fruits, notes of cedar, blonde tobacco and sweet spices. Renowned for their relative accessibility in their youth whilst offering solid ageing potential, the estate's wines stand the test of time with elegance. Vintages such as Château Talbot 1982, Château Talbot 1996, Château Talbot 2000, Château Talbot 1986 illustrate the qualitative consistency and reliability of this great Saint-Julien wine.
