Further significant progress came when his great-granddaughter Christine took the reins in 1980, joined by her husband Xavier Pariente ten years later. Their years of work to improve the vines, cellar and château itself were rewarded in 2006 with the elevation of Troplong Mondot to 1er Grand cru classé status.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSubsequent developments included the addition of a guest house in 2010 and Michelin awarded restaurant ‘Les Belles Perdrix’ in 2012. The death of Christine in 2014 left M Pariente as CEO, and in July 2017 the estate was bought by insurance company SCOR Group for a sum later revealed to be of the order of €178 million.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Château Talbot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53023938740560,"sku":"TALBOT23","price":67.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0463\/2438\/3912\/files\/chateau-talbot-saint-julien-4eme-grand-cru-classe-2023.jpg?v=1782907557","url":"https:\/\/bubblebrothers.ie\/en-gb\/products\/chateau-talbot-saint-julien-2023","provider":"Bubble Brothers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
