Château Talbot is perhaps the most classic of all Saint Juliens. This easy to pronounce 4th growth is dominated by Cabernet Savignon, then about 1/3rd Merlot and a splash of Petit Verdot. Extroverted and complex, with tamed tannins, this wine shows cigar notes with anise on its intense bouquet. A treasure to guard in the cellar, or decant and serve with fine company over a marbled prime rib roast.

There are (for all intents and purposes) five grape varieties permitted under French wine law for red Bordeaux: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and, very infrequently, Petit Verdot and Malbec. For white Bordeaux, only three varieties are permitted: Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillion, and Muscadelle. The exact percentages of each grape variety used in any...

Cabernet Sauvignon

The result of an illicit affair a hundred-odd years ago between Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon today enjoys more worldwide popularity than both of its parents combined. It is the principal grape of Bordeaux, and as such has rightly earned its place among the greatest and most long-lived wines of the Old World; of course, it is also the most heralded grape of California, positioning it at the forefront of the New World wine scene as well. Today, Cabernet Sauvignon has a...
