History

Legend relates that the name of this imposing estate originates with Connetable Talbot, a famous English warrior, defeated at the battle of Castillon 1453. Talbot is one of the Medoc's oldest estates, its glory never tainted. Through the years it has been fortunate enough to remain in good hands. The owners are Nancy Bignon-Cordier and her family. They are the fourth generation of Cordiers to manage this Saint-Julien fourth classified growth.
