Château Talbot

Owned by the Cordier estates, Château Talbot has always been considered the twin brother of Château Gruaud Larose. Located north of it, Talbot adjoins the vineyards of Léoville Poyferré. Its vast vineyard in one piece rests on gravel in the limestone basement.

Coming from a blend with a majority of Cabernet Sauvignon (67%), this 1994 vintage has a beautiful frame, supple with a good vigor typical of the terroir. It reveals a deep ruby color and a remarkable nose on red and black fruits. On the palate, it is a great pleasure, full of flavors and finesse.

Robert Parker – The Wine Advocate – Château Talbot 1994 rated 85/100.
