Casting a deep garnet-purple color, the 2019 Talbot leaps from the glass with vibrant notions of crushed blackberries, boysenberries and ripe blackcurrants plus hints of pencil shavings, cardamom, incense and Ceylon tea. Medium-bodied, the palate is refreshing and nicely balanced, featuring a good core of crunchy black fruit and soft, approachable tannins, finishing with earthy restraint.

The 2019 Talbot is a big, powerful wine. Black cherry, plum, licorice, menthol, spice, lavender and earthy notes give the 2019 a distinct impression of savoriness. The tannins are a bit burly, as they often are with Talbot, and yet the 2019 appears to have enough fruit depth to balance things out.

A juicy, fruity wine with lots of blue fruit, blackberries and dark chocolate. Pretty depth and structure to this. Polished and structured at the same time.

This will be Jean-Michel Laporte's second vintage at
Chateau Talbot. The 2018 Talbot was impressive, deep and luxurious, leading to
high expectations for the 2019.

Verdot
Chateau Talbot Saint-Julien. 4th Médoc Grand Cru Classé, Château Talbot comprises 110 hectares of a single vineyard in the heart of the Saint-Julien commune, an outstanding appellation as it counts no fewer than 11 classified growths.
Ideally situated on the banks of the Gironde estuary on
hilltops of alluvial gravel carried by the Dordogne River from the Massif Central
and from the Pyrenees by the Garonne, Château Talbot’s terroir is exceptional.
The totality of the 110 hectares of the Château Talbot vineyard
surrounds the estate house and stretches north, all the way to the border with
the Pauillac appellation. Plan The totality of the 110 hectares of the Château
Talbot vineyard surrounds the estate house and stretches north, all the way to
the border with the Pauillac appellation. Planted on a terroir of fine Gunzian
gravels with a core of fossil-rich limestone, which form draining hilltops, one
finds a large majority of red vines (105 hectares) and a small acreage of
whites (5 hectares).
The impeccable management of the vineyard is one of the most irreproachable in
the Medoc. The wines, supervised by Nancy Bignon-Cordier, with the valuable
advice of enologist Eric Boissenot and consultant Stéphane Derenoncourt, are
consistently rich while remaining extremely elegant.
The smooth taste and their silky tannins make it possible to drink them young
as well as after prolonged aging. With time they develop a delicate, complex
aromatic bouquet with tones of cedar and Havana tobacco.
Château Talbot is certified High
Environmental Value Level 3.
