Another man who switched Right Bank for Left is Jean-Michel Laporte. After his tenure at La Conseillante he switched caps to work as a courtier before returning to what I think he does best: running a château. Talbot would not have been my first guess of where Jean-Michel might have landed, but on reflection, it is a perfect match. He will give Talbot the momentum that I feel has been lacking in recent years. “The vineyard was fortunate not to be damaged by frost. We lost one-third of the crop for the white, but there was no real damage on the reds. It was very good flowering which was surprising given the weather. June was extremely hot, especially at the end and then summer was neither cold nor hot. We had a lot of rain at the end of September and this affected the Merlot more than the Cabernet Sauvignon due to earlier ripening and this is why there is more Cabernet in the blend. We also have a little more Petit Verdot.” This is going to be an intriguing estate to follow. Since Roman Ducolomb joined Beychevelle I discern more fruit and sensuality in the wine and I wonder if Jean-Michel will do the same here? To be honest, it is not what I necessarily desire from this growth. What I am looking for is a bit more stuffing and density, a touch more ripeness and persistence on the finish whilst upholding Talbot’s classicism. Jean-Michel had no input into the 2017 apart from greeting visitors during en primeur since his tenure only began at the beginning of March. In the meantime, the 2017 is a decent, solid, dependable Talbot that should drink nicely for 15 to 20 years.
