Château Talbot is one of the best-known Bordeaux wine estates to a UK audience, not surprisingly because it takes its name from John Talbot, Earl of Shrewsbury.

In the last century it has been owned by the Cordier family, and the red wine of the estate has long enjoyed a reputation for solid dependability.

One of the largest estates in the Médoc, 102 hectare single vineyard is situated inland from the Gironde River and west of the hamlet of St-Julien-Beychevelle.

Wonderfully aromatic, Chateau Talbot 2006 is a concentrared wine which brims with pure ripe blackberry fruit.

The fruit is so evident within the wine that the fine and powdery tannins feel almost hidden as they glide smoothly across the palate but rest assured, they are there and herald a long and promising life for this elegant yet mellow wine.
