Merchant's description
Château Talbot is a 4ème Grand Cru Classé property in the heart of Saint-Julien and embodies the commune’s character, offering a generous bouquet, complex mineral depth and excellent longevity. The 2000 release is a classically styled, open-knit and beautifully balanced wine that is now perfectly in its prime drinking window. Decanting to remove sediment and aerate is recommended.
