About the event
The San Diego chapter of the Commanderie de Bordeaux is delighted to welcome Jean-Paul Bignon from Bordeaux, France. Monsieur Bignon is the husband and brother-in-law, respectively, of fourth generation Château Talbot owners and winemakers, Nancy Bignon Cordier and her sister Lorraine Cordier. Great-grandfather and Saint-Julien Mayor Desiré Cordier purchased the estate in 1918 and it remains in the extended Bignon Cordier family today.
The estate has a rich history. Its name originates with Connétable Talbot, Earl of Shrewsbury, a famous English military commander who was defeated at the battle of Castillon in 1453, ending the 100 Years War between France and England. In 1855, at the time of the Médoc and Graves classifications ordered by Emperor Napoleon III, Château Talbot was promoted as a fourth classified growth of Saint-Julien. For several decades it belonged to the Marquis of Aux and was then purchased in 1918 by the aforementioned Désiré Cordier.
