Château Talbot
On the gravelly plateau of Saint‑Julien in the Médoc, Château Talbot has long been a benchmark—a 4th Growth in the 1855 Classification. The name nods to the English commander John Talbot, yet the modern era is defined by the Cordier family, owners since 1918 and guardians of a distinctly classical spirit.
Deep Günzian gravels laced with clay give warmth and drainage, shaping firm structure and refined line. Cabernet Sauvignon drives the frame, Merlot softens the core, with touches of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot adding precision. Parcel selection, careful extraction and élevage in French oak barriques translate Saint‑Julien into measured depth rather than showy power.
The signature is restraint with resonance: balance, tension and a slow, confident cadence—built to age, but always carrying the quiet charm of a great Médoc estate.Château Talbot
