Tasting Notes

The 2024 Talbot was picked between September 18 and October 7 at a respectable 39 hl/ha for the vintage. It will be matured in 70% new oak from 12 cooperages with various toastings. The wine has a light bouquet at first that upholds the Talbot style, mainly featuring red berry fruit intermixed with mocha and light cedar scents. It shows fine delineation but is certainly not a powerful wine. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins. I like the brightness and vivacity of this Saint-Julien. It's cohesive with a discrete, peppery finish that gently fans out. Worth seeking out, though it would need more grip and substance to merit a more generous score.

Score: 90 - 92

Neal Martin, Vinous.com Maturity: 2029-2055 01 May 2025

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 élevage.

Score: 90 - 92

Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com Maturity: 2032-2049 29 April 2025

Finely constructed tannic frame, sappy, good clarity of fruit but lacking some punch. One of the highest yields of the vintage at 54hl/h, Nancy Bignon-Cordier. 60% new oak.

Score: 90

Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux Maturity: 2030-2042 23 April 2025

The 2024 Talbot is a blend 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot. Offering up aromas of minty cherries, cassis, burning embers and new oak, it's medium-bodied, taut and youthfully angular.

Score: 88 - 90
