This Château has always had a very strong following amongst our customers here in the North of England - no doubt due to its continued policy of offering good Claret at a competitive price to its peers. A very good wine that will age well.
The 2024 vintage opens with an elegant and expressive nose. Ripe blackcurrant and sweet cherry are layered with notes of graphite and green leaf, followed by subtle undertones of liquorice and coffee. This is a softly opulent, ripe and expressive claret showing nice mouthfeel, balanced by freshness and acidity that really livens up the end palate. An elegant and approachable Saint-Julien, with a polished texture and finely balanced fruit. Will be aged in 60% new oak. Another strong vintage from a consistently reliable château.
2024 was a major success for Talbot. While many neighbouring estates struggled with mildew, Talbot's vines were far less affected, thanks to highly effective and timely vineyard management. As a result, they achieved an impressive yield of 39hl/ha, well above the average for the appellation. A light green harvest in August helped concentrate the fruit, setting the stage for a wine of both structure and finesse.
