Jeb Dunnuck Tasting Note

Another gorgeous 2020, the 2020 Château Talbot has an almost Pauillac-like sense of graphite and lead pencil as well as ripe blackcurrant fruit, medium to full body, and abundant notes of smoked tobacco, leather, and dried herbs. It shows the more focused, almost austere, yet still ripe style of the vintage and has terrific mid-palate depth, ripe, polished tannins, and a great finish. There's an almost old school Bordeaux-like vibe in this beauty, but it's not rustic in any way, the balance is spot on, and it has loads of character. I'd be thrilled with bottles in the cellar. It's going to evolve nicely for two decades or more.

About the Producer

Château Talbot, a vast Saint-Julien estate, perpetuates a history intimately linked to the Médoc. Its name evokes Constable Talbot, an English historical figure whose epic tale still resonates across these lands. Classified as a Fourth Grand Cru in 1855, this estate benefits from a remarkable terroir. The Cordier family acquired the château at the beginning of the 20th century, breathing new life into it to reveal its full potential. Today, Nancy Bignon-Cordier and her husband continue to write the history of this great Saint-Julien wine. It is said that Constable Talbot was defeated not far from here at the Battle of Castillon, an anecdote that adds a historical dimension to this iconic place. Château Talbot produces a powerful and harmonious red wine, aged for long cellaring, which elegantly expresses the typicity of its terroir. The estate is also renowned for its Caillou Blanc, a remarkable dry white wine from the Médoc, a subtle blend of Sauvignon and Sémillon. Le Connétable de Talbot, the château's second wine, offers a more supple and immediate interpretation of the Talbot style. An ample and refined Saint-Julien, waiting to be discovered. The estate notably works with appellations such as Fourth Growths, which consistently extend its signature.
