Robert – Wine Specialist, Pasadena

Clos Toumalin is a tiny walled vineyard located in the Bordeaux region of Canon- Fronsac, a limestone paradise less than five miles from the famed village of Pomerol. The team from Chateau La Vieille Cure takes the special terroir of Toumalin and makes a wine of pure elegance and noble complexity, showing beautiful notes of cassis, mocha, black cherries, blackberries, and a hint of sandalwood.

We recommend decanting this wine an hour before enjoying opening its aromas. This isa perfect match for lamb; a grilled ribeye or hearty beef stew this winter.

91 Points James Suckling

A textured, balanced, and attractive red with cherries, currants, and wild herbs on the nose, following through to a medium body and fine tannins. Juicy and textured, it has a flavorful, persistent finish. Drink from 2026.
