The Wine

Château Talbot 2000 is a classic Saint-Julien with the structure, depth and elegance that define the great wines of the Médoc. The outstanding 2000 Bordeaux vintage produced wines with excellent concentration and balance, and Talbot is no exception. Now beautifully mature, it offers a compelling combination of developed complexity, refined tannins and lingering freshness.

The nose reveals blackcurrant, blackberry and cedar, complemented by tobacco, leather, earthy notes and subtle spice. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied yet balanced, with a polished texture, savoury complexity and the harmonious structure expected from a distinguished mature Bordeaux.

Producer Details

Founded in the eighteenth century, Château Talbot is one of Saint-Julien’s most recognisable estates, celebrated for producing traditional Médoc wines with balance, structure and excellent ageing potential. Its vineyards benefit from the gravelly soils of the Left Bank, which are particularly suited to Cabernet Sauvignon.

The estate’s wines combine the power of Pauillac with the more approachable elegance often associated with Saint-Julien. Château Talbot 2000 is a fine example of the estate’s style, offering mature Bordeaux character and the depth to reward careful appreciation.

Wine Details

Vinification:
Traditionally vinified in temperature-controlled vats, followed by ageing in French oak barrels.

Alcohol Content:
Approximately 13%

Cellaring:
Enjoy now after allowing the wine time to breathe. Well-stored bottles may continue to develop, although condition and provenance are important for a mature vintage.

Food Pairing Suggestions

An excellent match for roast beef, rack of lamb, venison, beef Wellington, or mature hard cheeses.
