Château Talbot is a prestigious Fourth Growth estate situated in the Saint-Julien appellation of Bordeaux. The château, named after Connétable Talbot, an English warrior defeated at the battle of Castillon in 1453, is one of the largest estates in the Médoc. It encompasses 110 hectares of vineyards, primarily planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and small amounts of Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc.
Saint-Julien is one of the smallest appellations in the Médoc region of Bordeaux, France. It is situated between Pauillac to the north and Margaux to the south, spanning about 910 hectares of vineyards. Saint-Julien is known for producing some of the most consistent and high-quality wines in the Médoc, with a reputation for elegance and balance.
The terroir of Château Talbot is characterized by its Günzian gravel soils, which are ideal for cultivating Cabernet Sauvignon. These well-draining soils, combined with the temperate maritime climate of the Médoc, allow for optimal ripening of the grapes. The estate's proximity to the Gironde estuary provides a moderating influence on temperatures, contributing to the consistent quality and classic Médoc character of Talbot's wines.
