Continue Shopping Add to Wish List

4th Classified Growth of Saint-Julien,  Château Talbot  is one of the emblematic references of the Médoc. Acquired by Désiré Cordier in 1918, Château Talbot is today managed by Nancy Bignon-Cordier and her husband, Jean-Paul Bignon. The Connectable Talbot 2022 is a Second Wine of Saint Julien.

Château Talbot is a Saint-Julien wine  from a vineyard extending over 94.3 hectares in a single plot in the heart of the appellation. Aged 29 years on average, the vines dedicated to the production of this Second Wine of the property enjoy an ideal location since they are located on the edge of the Gironde estuary and rest on a terroir of Médoc gravel.

The Connétable Talbot 2022 is made from a blend of  Cabernet Sauvignon  (56%) and Merlot (44%).

A touch of black bean puree to the ripe dark cherries and grilled herbs. Medium-bodied on the palate with juicy fruit, round tannins and a pretty flavorful, lengthy finish. Drink from 2026.

Bright strawberries and fresh cherries - this bursts on the palate with freshly picked summer berries and high, almost citric acidity that gives a buzz to the expression. This is all about the energy and lift as opposed to power and strength. A really enjoyable and drinkable wine with well-integrated tannins and gorgeous salty undercurrents. I love the cool mint aspects too. In a blind tasting this wouldn't be an obvious pick from 2022. - Georgina Hindle
