ChâteauTalbot2020–4èmeCruClassé

A veritable hyphen between the finesse ofMargauxand the power ofPauillac , this is one of the Médoc’s most popular estates. A beautiful deep violet-black colour, the nose gives off scents of blackcurrant, raspberry, cooked plum, dried Mediterranean herbs and tobacco leaf, with a touch of graphite. On the palate, this Saint-Julien is beautifully fresh, with chewy, black fruit and dried herb notes and a savoury finish.
