The vineyard is located in the communal appellation of Saint-Julien in the Médoc(Bordeaux). It bears the name of the former owner General John Talbot (1384-1453). This last commander of the English province of Aquitaine fell in 1453 at the Battle of Castillon against the French. Since 1918, the estate has been owned by the Cordier family (although there is no longer any connection to the Cordier group). In the Bordeaux classification of 1855, the estate was awarded fourth place (Quatrième Grand Cru Classé). The vineyards cover a total of 107 hectares. Of these, 102 hectares are planted with the red wine varieties Cabernet Sauvignon (two thirds), Merlot (26%), Petit Verdot (5%) and Cabernet Franc (3%). The white wine varieties Sauvignon Blanc (84%) and Sémillon (16%) are cultivated on the remaining five hectares. The red wine, which can be stored for decades, is matured for 15 to 18 months in barriques, 60% of which are new. The second wine is called "Connétable Talbot". The unclassified white wine is called "Caillou Blanc". It is marketed as "one of the oldest Médoc white wines".
