Sous-Tirage Chateau Talbot

The vineyards of Talbot dominate St Julien, in terms of size at least, as they account for an impressive 107 hectares. All the other chateaux, from the great second growths down to the cru bourgeois properties, dance around the periphery of the Talbot estate, which stretches over a huge swathe of the commune. The soils underfoot are, as is typical, ancient quaternary gravels offering excellent drainage. Of the vineyard area, 102 ha are planted to red varieties, mostly Cabernet Sauvignon (66%), followed by Merlot (26%), Cabernet Franc (5%) and Petit Verdot (3%).
