2nd vin
Stock out
In a few words ...
Second wine of Château Talbot, Saint-Julien's fourth growth, this wine is essentially made from the estate's young vines. The result is a successful, classic Saint-Julien with a beautiful, flamboyant ruby color. On the nose, it concentrates aromas of blueberry and blackberry, as well as warm wood and herbs. Full-bodied and fleshy on the palate, its elegant tannins assert themselves with up to ten years of cellaring.
Tasting notes
Appearance
Dense, dark garnet color, drawing on purple in its youth.
Aroma
The nose reveals notes of violet and empyreumatic like wood, roasting, vanilla ... In aging, the wine will reveal very high quality game or truffle aromas.

Taste
The wines of Saint-Julien are famous for mixing the feminine finesse of Margaux wines with the strength of Pauillac wines. We will find therefore structured tannins with a note of black fruits important that will give an interesting overall balance.
