Guide Hachette 2014
A star was attributed to MT de Toumalin 2010 in the 2014 edition of the Guide Hachette; Château Toumalin 2010 is cited.
Remark: “Xavier Miravete, who became the new estate owner in 2008, produces a Merlot with a dark, rich color. The intense nose of stewed red berries, prunes, hazelnut and woodland aromas heralds a warming, supple, full-bodied taste supported by tannins which are still firm and which call for keeping for between three and five years. Recommended for a saucy meat dish. The cited Château Toumalin 2010 is rich and woody; it is structured by tannins which are still sharp, suitable for an even longer keeping.”

Harvest 2015: A promising vintage for Château TOUMALIN
The 2015 Vintage has benefited of favorable conditions to produce grapes of high quality. The months of May, June and July have been warm and dry allowing a homogenous and early flowering and maturation. The month of August have been more temperate, and that allowed to preserve the flavorings and kept the plant in operation. The ideal conditions in September brought our harvest to a perfect ripe. The harvest started one week in advance on October 8th, and finished on October 11th. The quality of the grapes was superb, very concentrated, and aromatic.
The quality is here, and our 2015 vintage will hopefully as superb as 2009 and 2010’s.
