Description

Discover the quintessential Saint-Julien with Château Talbot 2017. As a 4th Classified Growth, Talbot consistently delivers outstanding quality vintage after vintage, making it a true emblem of Médoc's Left Bank.

The Château Talbot 2017 presents a juicy and youthfully compact profile, brimming with bramble-edged cassis, plum, and blackberry flavors. These dark fruit notes are beautifully lined with intriguing licorice snap and tar details. The wine exhibits a grippy back end that shows good energy, with latent acidity adding remarkable length. A subtle, buried bolt of iron adds further depth and complexity to its range.

This wine is derived from a typically Médoc blend, predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon – the flagship red grape of the Left Bank – complemented by Merlot and Petit Verdot. This blend contributes to the Château Talbot 2017's rare complexity, making it a truly must-try wine from this promising vintage.

Elegant, refined, and generous even in its youth, these wines promise an excellent potential for aging, and are truly representative of the famous Saint-Julien appellation.

Wine undergoes an 18-month aging period in French oak barrels, with 60% new wood.

Serving recommendations
