2022 Chateau Talbot Saint-Julien Grand Cru Classé

EN PRIMEUR DISCOUNT VALID UNTIL 31/12/2024 - DELIVERY SPRING 2025

Château Talbot owes its name to the heroic English commander Connetable Talbot, who died at the Battle of Castillon in 1453. The largest and one of the oldest Châteaus in Saint Julien, it is ideally situated a short distance from the Gironde, where the vineyards lie on a fine gravel surface and produce one of the most beautiful red wines of Saint Julien. The popular Château Talbot makes wines with a good price-quality ratio. In the last 10 years, a lot has been invested in equipment and the vineyards, which is why they produce good, consistently top Bordeaux year in and year out, while still being relatively affordable.

The Talbot 2022 is a blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot. The grapes were harvested by hand from September 9 to 28. This Talbot contains 13.5% alcohol this year and has been allowed to mature for 15 months in French barrels (60% new). The grapes come from 42-year-old vines spread over 94.3 hectares in Saint-Julien. The 2022 Talbot is impressive, and if it delivers on all its promises, it will likely emerge as one of the best wines from Saint-Julien since the 1980s. Relaxing in the glass with aromas of cherry, blackberry and cassis mixed with hints of violet and pencil, it is medium to full-bodied, velvety and concentrated, with a layered core of fruit, rich structuring tannins and a long, lively finish.

FACT: Under the tab: Attachment you will find the official fact sheet and we will send it to you digitally when you order this wine. It is also worth mentioning that we purchase the (Bordeaux) wines directly and never purchase them through intermediaries because we do not know which journeys the wine has made and how it has been treated. The wines come from the cellars of the Chateau directly to our conditioned Warehouse in Dordrecht where all our wines are stored .
