In the 2022 vintage, Talbot has produced a wine of remarkable density and poise. Under the guidance of Jean-Michel Laporte, the estate benefited from its old vines—some over 50 years old—which were able to tap into deep water reserves during the summer drought. The 2022 is a sophisticated evolution for the property, moving toward a more precise and \"chiseled\" style while retaining the generous, approachable charm that has made Talbot a staple for collectors worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA deep, lustrous purple in the glass.
