Connétable 2012 - Second vin du Château Talbot

4/5 (7 customers)

With a beautiful deep purple color, Connétable is a robust Saint-Julien, a second wine with a nose marked by aromas of morello cherry and black berries, and very refined, subtle oak. A complex red on the palate yet deeply classic, with a tight structure and lovely oak on the finish… A fine representative of its appellation! - Delivered in a wooden case for orders of 12 bottles of this wine shipped within France

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

About the estate:

This estate, among the most deservedly popular in the Médoc, still belongs to the Cordier family. It produces a substantial output, which has gained in definition and vigor since 2014. For many, Talbot embodies the ideal of Saint-Julien: generously aromatic, remarkably stable, and reliable with age. A lovely dry white wine, aromatic and vibrant, continues to be produced under the Caillou-Blanc label. The intelligent work carried out with the help of Stéphane Derenoncourt in a skillfully modernized winery and cellar is bearing fruit.
