Chateau Talbot ‘Connetable Talbot’, Saint-Julien 2016

60% Merlot
40% Cabernet Sauvignon

This imposing estate owes its name to Connétable Talbot, the English general and governor of the province of Guyenne who was defeated at the famous Battle of Castillon in 1453.

Talbot’s vines grow in an ideal location bordering an estuary, on some of the region’s most highly prized gravel rises which alone produce great wine. Talbot is one of the oldest estates in the Medoc, and its reputation has been in the hands of experienced managers, and always shown itself to be worthy of its inclusion in the 1855 classification. The second wine of Château Talbot is a great introduction to the estate.

Connetable Talbot 2016 has been vinified in wooden vats followed by maturing in oak barrels (half of which are new).

Tasting Notes
Connetable Talbot 2016 is moderately full-bodied, with an elegant mid-palate packed with juicy, refreshing black and red fruits and evolving to a rich, spicy finish.
