The Connetable Talbot is a second wine with a great reputation. While the fruit doesn't make it into the world-famous Château Talbot, it still goes through the same rigorous selection in the vineyard and then on the sorting table, resulting in a world-class wine at a much more favourable price than the top wine. Playing to the strengths of St. Julien, this wine is led by Cabernet Sauvignon and with a few years' age, it's now beginning to develop beautiful and complex herbal and floral characteristics, without losing its traditional spicy structure on the finish.

Eric Boissenot

Eric Boissenot is one of the most respected oenologists on the Left Bank of Bordeaux, renowned for his work with prestigious Médoc estates. His expertise in viticulture and winemaking has contributed to the success of Château Desmirail, owned by the Lurton family, notably Denis Lurton, who has carried on his father Lucien's legacy. With over 90% of his clients coming from top Médoc properties like Latour, Lafite, and Margaux, Boissenot's influence is widespread, celebrated for his focus on balance, elegance, and the exceptional quality of Cabernet in the region.

"Great with a fillet of duck breast cooked with honey and spices, or grilled tournedos and a creamy morel sauce partnered with seasonal vegetables. Also perfect with a good selection of cheeses." - Eric Boissenot, Winemaker.
