This imposing estate owes its name to Connetable Talbot the English general and governor of the province of Guyenne who was defeated at the famous Battle of Castillon in 1453. Talbot's vines grow in an ideal location bordering an estuary on some of the region's most highly prized gravel rises which alone produce great wine. Talbot is one of the oldest estates in the Medoc and its reputation has been in the hands of experienced managers and always shown itself to be worthy of its inclusion in the 1855 classification. Owners of Talbot since the early 20th century the Cordier family have perpetuation the commitment to quality of their predecessors. At Talbot wine is very much past present and future. Therefore tradition and technical innovations both count a great deal.
