It is undeniable that Talbot is one of the most famous wines from the Médoc region. In the hands of the same family for a century, this estate of over a hundred hectares produces wines known for the consistent quality of its vintages. "For many, Talbot epitomizes the ideal of Saint Julien, generously aromatic, very stable and safe for aging," emphasize Bettane and Desseauve in their Grand Guide des Vins de France. It's true, Talbot is a champion of longevity, which doesn't prevent it from being friendly and round even in its earliest youth, always marked by silky and suave tannins, very civilized. Talbot has an outgoing nature, never withdrawn into itself, and has the courtesy to be in a good mood every day. It is a refined wine, with complex notes of Havana and licorice, delightfully classic without any austerity.
