Description

Crafted from 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Merlot, and 5% Petit Verdot, this vintage marks a new chapter at Talbot under the expert guidance of our friend Jean-Michel Laporte. In his debut vintage, Laporte has reimagined Talbot’s character, seeking to amplify the richness and depth of the mid-palate. By increasing extraction during the initial stages of fermentation and enhancing the influence of new oak by 10%, he has brought an unmistakable sense of grandeur to the wine. The result is a bold, layered expression of Talbot—deeply coloured, with plush, velvety tannins and an opulent mouthfeel, exuding dark berry fruits, subtle spice, and a long, luxurious finish. It’s arguably one of the finest Talbots in recent memory, embodying a sophisticated, more sumptuous style.

Critics reviews

Jeb Dunnuck 93-95
This estate is on a roll and the 2018 Château Talbot might just be the best yet. A deep purple/blue color is followed by a mammoth-sized bouquet of crème de cassis, dark chocolate, tobacco, and lead pencil. Rich, full-bodied, and powerful, it nevertheless stays pure, balanced, and elegant, with a beautiful finish. Its tannins are ripe and integrated, it has balancing acidity, and this is unquestionably another beautiful vintage for this estate. Jeb Dunnock
