  • Goedhuis, May 2007, Score: 91-93

    Talbot has produced a continuous stream of excellent wines vintage after vintage. So, it was not asurprise to find the 2006 a pleasure to taste. Superbly pretty with a core of dark plums, blackberries and violets, it finishes fresh and clean with long, velvety tannins. Besides Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, Talbot was able to use wonderfully ripe Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc giving the wine additional complexity and depth.

  • Neal Martin, May 2016, Score: 88

    Tasted at Bordeaux Index's annual 10-Year On tasting in London. The 2006 Château Talbot already shows more maturity in the glass, though nothing to get too concerned about. The nose is very traditional with cedar and tobacco scents dominating the fruit, a touch of the old "stately home." The palate is medium-bodied with dry tannin, moderate weight in the mouth, but with a rather austere finish. It has character, if not quite the class of its peers this vintage. Tasted January 2016.

  • Robert Parker, February 2009, Score: 89

    This fruity, soft, somewhat commercial, mid-weight St.-Julien offers sweet black cherry and currant fruit intermixed with subtle herb, spice box, and smoke characteristics. While not particularly concentrated, it is a round, aromatic, soft, sensual 2006 to enjoy over the next 10-13 years. Drink: 2022

  • Robert Parker, April 2007, Score: 89-91

    The 2006 Talbot is a more seductive, possibly sexier wine than the 2005, which is seemingly more reserved in that top-notch vintage. The 2006 exhibits sweet, olive-tinged black cherry and currant fruit, soft tannin, a heady attack, good freshness and acidity, and a lush, fleshy finish. It will drink beautifully in 4-6 years, and last for two decades. Drink: 2011 - 2027.

  • Jancis Robinson, May 2007, Score: 16

    Dark crimson. Tobacco leaf notes on the nose rather drying tannins on the finish. A little bit pinched. Far from opulent!

Château Talbot

A mark of the significant English influence in Bordeaux, Talbot was named after John Talbot, Earlof Shrewsbury, who fought gallantly but unsuccessfully against the French in Castillon in 1453. For many years, it was a twin to Gruaud Larose which also bore the Cordier label. However, since 1992 Jean Cordier exchanged his shares in Gruaud to take complete control of Talbot.

Region

St Julien

St Julien is like the middle child of the Médoc - not as assertive as Pauillac or as coquettish as Margaux. It lies firmly between the two more outspoken communes and as a result produces a blend of them both. St Julien's wines have often been sought out by aficionados for their balance and consistency, particularly in the UK. Yet due to its middle child nature, it can occasionally be overlooked globally and as a result underrated by those markets outside the UK. Despite the fact that it has no first growths, it has several second growths including Léoville Las Cases, Léoville Barton, Léoville Poyferré and Ducru Beaucaillou as well as the celebrated châteaux such as Talbot and Beychevelle.
