    The Château Talbot vineyard stretches across gravelly and pebbly soils, typical of the Saint-Julien appellation. These mineral-rich soils allow the vines to develop deep roots, fostering an authentic expression of the terroir. The oceanic climate, with its maritime influences, ensures optimal ripening of the grapes while preserving their freshness. The vines, averaging 30 years old, are cultivated with care using sustainable methods, guaranteeing complete respect for the ecosystem.

    Owner and history

    Today, Château Talbot is managed by the Cordier family, who have preserved the estate's heritage and authenticity while modernizing its practices. The owners are passionate about their terroir and committed to producing wines of exceptional quality. Their vision is to create wines that tell the story of the place, while remaining accessible to wine lovers.

    Vinification and aging

    The Connétable Talbot 2018 is crafted with the utmost care. The hand-harvested grapes are meticulously sorted before being destemmed. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve the purity of the aromas. Aging occurs in oak barrels, some of which are new, to impart complexity and structure to the wine. This process allows the full richness of the terroir to shine through while incorporating subtle oak notes.
