Château Toulifaut Pomerol AOC

martin — Fri, 10 Jul 2026 08:30:45 +0000

In 1972, the property itself was purchased by the Famille Jean-François Janoueix, managers and owners of prestigious Saint-Émilion and Pomerol estates since 1898. Janoueix wines have been served to presidents and dignitaries during official state dinners. The reputation of the La Croix-Toulifaut vineyards stretches even further back to the Middle Ages when the religious pilgrims of Saint Jacques gathered in front of the stone cross of La Croix Toulifaut as part of their devotions. The same cross still stands today and serves as a landmark for this vineyard. The very name Toulifaut has its roots in the old Latin French phrase "tot li falt" or "tout y faille" (everyone will give way). History has it that even the most pious person cannot help but be drawn to Pomerol from these vineyards. ChâteauToulifaut (often listed as Château La Croix Toulifaut) is made from 100% Merlot and carries the winery's long history of craftsmanship and patience. To the credit of the entire region, the wine shows how the history of the area and the winery's commitment can be united in a pure and balanced wine experience from Bordeaux. This wine has been called the "Princess of Pomerol" by Jean-Luc Pouteau, the best sommelier in the world, based on its feminine representation of the appellation's characteristics.

#Legend Malbec Bordeaux AOC

#Legend by Vignobles Lassagne (Château Lassagne) is a rare 100% Malbec red wine coming directly out of the traditional Bordeaux region.

While Malbec is widely famous as Argentina's flagship grape, it actually originated in Southwest France. In Bordeaux, it is usually highly restricted and used only in small percentages to add color and tannin to blends. This bottle completely breaks those regional norms by showcasing Malbec entirely on its own.

A collection of wines with individual character. The concept of this brand is to actively interact with consumers, communicating in their own way through different characters, taking into account the individuality and preferences of consumers.
