As a Fourth Growth estate in the prestigious Saint-Julien appellation, Château Talbot produced a rich, concentrated 2000 vintage that captured the exceptional quality of that growing season in Bordeaux. The 2000 Talbot would have been built around a core of ripe, intense Cabernet Sauvignon, blended with Merlot to add softness and approachability, resulting in a wine of impressive depth and structure. While perhaps not achieving the same level of fame as some of its more renowned Saint-Julien neighbors, the 2000 Château Talbot still offered Bordeaux enthusiasts a powerful, age-worthy expression of the estate's signature style.
