Château Talbot

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.

An underlays of forest floor typicity, finely integrated oak and ripe tannins provide added complexity. Avery good result at Talbot this vintage.
Harvest 5th - 22nd September with a yield of only 28hl/ha. Aged in 60% new oak barrels. Alc 13.2%
