The Connétable Talbot Saint-Julien 2020 is the refined and approachable second wine of Château Talbot. This cuvée beautifully expresses the classic Saint-Julien style—elegance, balance, and freshness—in a more youthful and accessible form.
In the glass, the wine shows a bright ruby-red colour. The nose is open and aromatic, offering notes of red and black berries, cherry, and cassis, complemented by subtle hints of cedar wood, gentle spice, and a touch of graphite. On the palate, it is smooth and harmonious, with fine tannins, fresh acidity, and an elegant, juicy finish.
The 2020 vintage delivers ripe fruit and fine concentration, supported by freshness and precision. More approachable than the Grand Vin, Connétable Talbot clearly retains the character of Saint-Julien.
