96 Points - James Suckling. Wine Spectator's number 13 wine of the world for 2025, and scored 96 points by both James Suckling and Wine Spectator, this is Saint-Julien at its most generous. Talbot is the Fourth Growth that critics say embodies the ideal Saint-Julien, with a lovely bouquet, silky tannins and a talent for ageing, and it has been in the same family for over a century. Cabernet Sauvignon leads with blackcurrant and structure, while Merlot adds roundness and a little Petit Verdot adds spice. Decant it and serve it with roast lamb, beef or duck. It is a Médoc classic that tastes great at any time, though it will reward a few years in the cellar.

Taste

Deep and fragrant, with blackcurrant, cherry and dark berries, dried flowers, fresh herbs like basil and rosemary, orange zest and petals. Smoky currants, tobacco leaf, leather and a touch of chocolate add depth. The palate is medium to full bodied with a lovely texture, fine, polished tannins and a great balance of intensity and finesse. There is energy from start to finish, and the finish is long and savoury. Aged in 60% new French oak. Lovely with a decant now, and it should improve for 20 years or more.

About the Producer

Château Talbot is a Fourth Growth of Saint-Julien, said to be named after John Talbot, Earl of Shrewsbury, the English commander known as the English Achilles. It has been owned by the Cordier family since the early 20th century, and today Nancy Bignon-Cordier and her husband Jean-Paul Bignon run it. The vines grow in one single block of deep gravel near the Gironde estuary. Jean-Michel Laporte, formerly of Château La Conseillante, has directed the estate since 2017, with Éric Boissenot as consultant. The vineyard is certified High Environmental Value (HVE Level 3), which recognises its care for biodiversity and reduced use of vineyard treatments.

As indicated in our Quality Promise we will happily refund or exchange any faulty bottles. All we ask is the bottles in question are returned to us at least half full for verification purposes. If a bottle is broken on delivery we will also replace or refund it but we do require photographic evidence of the breakage. Equally we can arrange for the bottles to be collected the next time you receive a delivery from us.

Should we be unable to fulfil any part, or all of an order, Perfect Cellar (Beyond the Bottle Ltd) will suggest comparable substitutions. You are free to refuse these suggestions and are eligible for a full refund of relevant parts of the order.

In all instances, Perfect Cellar (Beyond the Bottle Ltd) must be informed of any claim within 24 hours of receipt of delivery by email or telephone. All refunds will be issued after we have received and approved the faulty items and the amount will be re-credited to your account within 30 days. The amount refunded will be equal to the full amount paid for the relevant products at the time of purchase and must be made by the same payment method as the original sale.

If you choose to cancel your contract of sale with Perfect Cellar (Beyond the Bottle Ltd) you may do so within 30 days of receipt of the goods. If the goods have already been dispatched they must be returned to us unopened and undamaged, and Perfect Cellar (Beyond the Bottle Ltd) will not be liable for any costs associated with the original or return delivery.

No refund can be given when a case has left bond as the value will be affected. Individual bottles of Fine Wine will be considered for refund on a case-by-case basis.

We advise contacting our Customers Services team before making any claim to ensure the process goes as smoothly as possible.

Advent Calendars - Due to the made-to-order nature of our Advent Calendars, they are not eligible for a full refund. However, we reserve the right to issue a refund in the form of store credit.
