Dear Wine Lover,

We are pleased to invite you to a wine dinner hosted by Mr. Jean-Michel Laporte, General Manager of Château Talbot, who will visit Hong Kong in November.

A classified growth in Saint-Julien, Château Talbot has been in the hands of the Cordier family since 1917. It is now being run by Nancy Bignon-Cordier and her husband, Jean-Paul Bignon, the fourth generation to manage the property. The family also owns Château Sénéjac, one of the best-known châteaux of Haut-Médoc appellation, and Domaine Saint Andrieu, a beautiful estate located in Provence countryside.

More than a century under the same family, Château Talbot has a reputation for excellent consistency and is one of the most carefully made and reliable Grand Cru Classé wine. The best examples are richly aromatic, silky, fruity and elegant. These characters and well-rounded tannins make it possible to drink them young as well as after prolonged ageing. Along with the grand vin, the estate produces a second wine labelled Connétable Talbot, coming from the youngest vines, and a dry white wine made in Burgundian style, aged in oak barrels, known as Caillou Blanc.
