What the critics say:
"The 2024 Talbot is an attractive, understated Saint-Julien. Sweet pipe tobacco, cedar, mint, mocha, dried herbs and incense lend notable aromatic presence. The 2024 is pleasant but also a bit light texturally. Let's see what happens with elevage."
"Finely constructed tannic frame, sappy, good clarity of autumnal berry fruit but lacking some punch. St Julien finesse in evidence, possible upscore in bottle. Yield just under 40hl/h, Nancy Bignon-Cordier owner. 60% new oak."
"(St Julien; 70% Cabernet Sauvignon; 25% Merlot; 5% Petit Verdot; 13% alcohol; tasted twice, first at the UGC press tasting at the Cité du Vin). Pretty aromatically, this is another St Julien that is very floral in this vintage. There’s a lovely earthiness to this too that gives this more of a sense of gravitas – somehow it grounds the wine, almost literally. I like very much the ‘Talbot’ nuttiness – blanched almonds and walnuts. It maybe lacks a little mid-palate delineation and definition in comparison to some of its august neighbours, but this is very fine. Strikingly juicy on the finish which is always a sign of quality – above all in 2024."
