Connétable Talbot 2023

A second wine from Saint-Julien marked by suppleness and refinement

The estate

4th Classified Growth of Saint-Julien, the 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 Connétable Talbot 2022 is a Second Wine from Saint Julien.

The vineyard

The Château Talbot is a wine from Saint-Julien from a vineyard extending over 94.3 hectares in one piece in the heart of the appellation. Averaging 29 years old, the vines dedicated to the production of this Second Wine from the estate enjoy an ideal location as they are located on the edge of the Gironde estuary and rest on a terroir of Médoc gravels.

Vinification and ageing

Harvested by hand, the grapes undergo successive sorting (manual, optical or densimetric) before vinification in stainless steel vats. The ageing is carried out exclusively in barrels.

Blend

The Connétable Talbot 2023 is made from a blend of Merlot (56%), Cabernet Sauvignon (41%) and Petit Verdot (3%).
