Georges Cordier, the grandfather of the current owners, was very fond of white wines. He would likely have appreciated this lovely, highly aromatic wine with its lively and crisp character. A white wine that is lively and fruity on the palate, revealing complexity, a rich texture, and beautiful body. A highly recommended Bordeaux! • Orders of 6 bottles of this wine shipped within France will be delivered in a wooden case •

Rated estate (2022 guide): 4*Stars (Producers of the very highest quality, the pride of French viticulture)

About the estate:

This estate, one of the most deservedly popular in the Médoc, is still owned by the Cordier family. It produces a bountiful harvest, which has gained in character and definition since 2014. For many, Talbot embodies the ideal Saint-Julien—generously aromatic, very stable, and reliable for aging. A lovely dry white wine—aromatic and lively—continues to be produced under the Caillou-Blanc label. The thoughtful winemaking, guided by Stéphane Derenoncourt in a skillfully modernized fermentation room and cellar, is paying off.

Review by Mr. PIERRE C. Published on February 2, 2014

The first bottle was more reminiscent of a Meursault, as the richness dominated and overpowered the Sémillon's freshness. The second bottle was back to normal: freshness dominates, followed by richness. It's good overall, but too "Burgundian" for a Bordeaux.
