"Talbot offers a particularly appealing interpretation of this vintage. A generous and approachable style! ~ La RVF"
“Freshness defines Talbot’s bouquet, with inviting notes of eucalyptus and aromas of black berries. Creamy on the palate, the wine stands out for its linear and precise character. It features powerful tannins and structuring acidity and will already be enjoyable in its youth, but it is clearly meant for aging as well! ” (Yves Beck 2026)

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 intelligent winemaking approach, guided by Stéphane Derenoncourt in a skillfully modernized fermentation room and cellar, is paying off.

This wine is juicy and lively, with expressive aromas of black fruit and fine, almost grainy tannins. A lovely flavor emerges in the long finish. Lingering and harmonious.
