  • Description

    The 1997 Chateau Talbot has a saturated purple color, and a sweet, earthy, leather, and cassis-scented nose. In the mouth, the wine is fat and opulent, with low acidity. The finish is all glycerin, alcohol, and juicy fruit. It may be almost too low in acidity, but it is drinking well and can be expected to do so for another decade.

    Château Talbot, situated in the Saint-Julien appellation of Bordeaux, France, is renowned for its prestigious history and exceptional red wines. With origins tracing back to the 17th century, the estate's vineyards span approximately 107 hectares, primarily planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot grapes. Benefiting from gravelly and sandy soils, Château Talbot crafts wines that epitomize the elegance and complexity of Saint-Julien terroir. Known for their depth, structure, and aging potential, the estate's wines exhibit ripe fruit flavors, refined tannins, and a distinct Saint-Julien character. Classified as a Fourth Growth (Quatrième Cru) in the 1855 Bordeaux Classification, Château Talbot continues to maintain its reputation for excellence under the ownership of the Cordier family. With a commitment to tradition and innovation, the estate remains a respected name in Bordeaux winemaking, captivating enthusiasts worldwide with its distinguished blends.
