Description
1979 vintage
Saint-Julien, Bordeaux/France
In original wooden case
Original filling quantity: 0.75 l
Fill level: into neck
This lot comprises one original wooden case with six bottles of 1979 vintage Château Talbot from the Saint-Julien appellation in Bordeaux.
Saint-Julien is an appellation in Médoc by the Gironde estuary, adjacent to Pauillac. The predominant grape variety here is Cabernet Sauvignon and the wines are powerful, complex and long-lived. The wines from the northern part of the appellation are comparable to those from Pauillac, while in the south the wines tend to be more elegant like those from Margaux. In the Bordeaux Wine Official Classification of 1855 there are no premier cru wine estates in Saint-Julien, although the best grand crus of the region, including Château Ducru-Beaucaillou, would most likely be rated even higher today.
The fill levels are excellent (into neck). The labels are soiled; the capsule and original wooden case are in perfect condition.
