Description

The 2010 Ch. Talbot is a favourite with many, and with good reason. Don't expect huge detail and complexity, but what it does provide is great focus, a depth of crunchy bright fruit which builds on the palate and serious structure. This is a very generous wine with superb length on a fresh and uplifting finish, perhaps the best since the great 1986?

About this wine

Chateau Talbot

Château Talbot is one of the best-known Bordeaux wine estates to a UK audience, not surprisingly because it takes its name from John Talbot, Earl of Shrewsbury, who in 1453 suffered the ignominy of losing the  battle, and with it his life, which allowed Bordeaux and its vineyards to slip back into French control after belonging to the British Crown for over 340 years. In the last century it has been owned by the Cordier family, and the red wine of the estate has long enjoyed a reputation for solid dependability. It is one of the largest estates in the Médoc and its 102 hectare single vineyard is situated inland from the Gironde River and west of the hamlet of St-Julien-Beychevelle.
