Food and wine pairings
This cuvée will be particularly enjoyable with noble red meats. It will pair wonderfully with roast lamb with herbs, a fine grilled cut of beef, duck with mushrooms or a veal stew.

A fresh and elegant Saint-Julien wine crafted by Château Talbot
The estate
Located in the renowned region of Bordeaux, Château Talbot was founded in the 18th century and elevated to 4ème Grand Cru Classé in 1855. Acquired in 1917 by Désiré Cordier, it is now run by the Bignon-Cordier family, with Nancy Bignon-Cordier at the helm. The estate stands out for its vast single-block vineyard and its state-of-the-art facilities inaugurated for the family's centenary. The property is renowned for its environmental commitment and the consistent quality of its wines.
The vineyard
The exceptional terroir of the Saint-Julien appellation extends over gentle slopes of fine Médoc gravel resting on a clay bedrock. Rising to 23 metres in altitude, the estate's vineyard forms a single block, benefiting from ideal natural drainage. The vines, averaging 43 years of age, are planted at a density of 7,700 vines per hectare. They are trained using the double Guyot pruning method, accompanied by traditional ploughing. The estate is certified Haute Valeur Environnementale level 3, recognising its sustainable practices.
Winemaking and ageing
After hand harvesting, the berries undergo successive sorting, both manual and optical, to keep only the finest fruit. Vinification then takes place in wooden vats. Finally, the wine benefits from careful ageing for 15 months in barrels, 60% of which are new oak. Alcohol content: 13% vol.
Grape varieties
74% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot and 9% Petit Verdot.
