The name Talbot traces to John Talbot, First Earl of Shrewsbury, who fell at the Battle of Castillon in 1453 — the last English commander to hold Guyenne before Bordeaux passed to France. Today, the estate farms 107 hectares of hilltop gravel in Saint-Julien, soils deposited by the Dordogne and Garonne that drain sharply and concentrate the Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot blend. The 2019, from one of Bordeaux's warmest recent vintages, shows dark plum, cedar, and licorice, with silky tannins and a structured, long finish.
