    Chateau Talbot

    Chateau Talbot

    Médoc Grand Cru Classé, Château Talbot comprises of 107 hectares of vineyard cultivated in the heart of the Saint-Julien commune. An outstanding appellation it counts no fewer than 11 classified growths. The Château Used To Be The Property Of Sir John Talbot, Governor Of Aquitaine, Earl Of Shrewsbury, In The 15th Century.The Property Belonged To The Marquis Of Aux For Several Decades, Receiving Its First Cocks & Féret Lists In 1846 And 1855 And Fourth Growth Classification In 1855, Was Then Bought By Monsieur A. Claverie In 1899, Before Being Acquired By Désiré Cordier In 1917. His Son Georges, Then His Grandson Jean Inherited The Property And Since His Death In 1993 The Present Owners Are His Daughters Lorraine Rustmann And Nancy Bignon-cordier, The Fourth Generation Of The Cordier Family. Ideally situated on the banks of the estuary of the Gironde on hilltops of alluvial gravel carried by the Dordogne River from the Massif Central and from the Pyrénées by the Garonne, Château Talbot’s terroir is exceptional. In contrast with the austerity of concrete, here one encounters the curves and warmth of wood. With 1,800 barrels lined up in cool half-light, the cellar is maintained at 16° which creates the perfect cellaring conditions to mature their wines. The wine is aged for 14 months in 50 to 60 percent new barrels, originating from eight different coopers. The choice of cooper, the length of aging, and the pace of racking vary, based on the style and development of the various lots. Regular tasting of the wines determines these choices and aging is continuously adapted to each wooden tank’s character until final blending. Depending on the vintage, Talbot’s top wine represents 50 to 60% of the estate’s production. The estate’s rigorous selection enables the production of a second wine too, named le Connétable Talbot, this second wine holds an outstanding quality to price ratio. Blending is one of the most delicate operations when it comes to producing wines. Varieties, parcels, terroirs, age of vines, new or old barrels, the many individual decisions render this operation incredibly complex. Nancy Bignon-Cordier and Lorraine Cordier, with the help of oenologist Jacques Boissenot and Stéphane Derenoncourt, seek to attain for each vintage the highest level of complexity for Château Talbot wines.
