Connétable Talbot: The Elegant Second Wine of Château Talbot, Saint-Julien

As the esteemed second wine of Château Talbot, a Fourth Growth (Quatrième Grand Cru Classé) in Saint-Julien, Connétable Talbot offers a genuine taste of high-quality claret heritage. It is a tribute to the English Constable Talbot and benefits from the same exceptional vineyard management as its elder wine.

This wine is intentionally made to be more approachable in its youth, presenting the classic characteristics of a Saint-Julien-structure, balance, and finesse-with a softer edge, allowing for enjoyment without decades of cellaring.

Tasting Notes

• Appearance: Rich, deep garnet.
• Bouquet: A captivating nose of blackcurrant, plum, and subtle forest floor notes, complemented by a touch of oak toast and spice.
• Mouthfeel: The palate is medium-to-full bodied with a core of ripe fruit and well-integrated, velvety tannins. It is beautifully poised, leading to a long, satisfying, and very 'claret' finish.

Food Pairing & Decanting

We recommend serving this wine after a short decant to soften the tannins. Ideal serving temperature is 16°C-18°C. A magnificent bottle for a traditional Sunday lunch or any special occasion.
