Tasting notes: “Marquis de Mons is the second wine of the Château La Tour de Mons. It comes from the same terroir and is vinified with as much care as the Grand Vin, and the blend is similar. It uses the younger vines of the estate. Marquis de Mons' wine style tends towards the research of balance, with supple tannins and good aromatic expression. It is a wine to enjoy whilst young (3 to 5 years).”Château la Tour de Mons
"The 2014 La Tour de Mons has a crisp bouquet with leafy black fruit tinged with graphite and sous-bois scents that gently unfold. The palate is medium-bodied with fine, quite supple tannin and well judged acidity. The oak is neatly integrated and it gradually builds to a very refined and satisfying finish. This is a well-crafted Margaux that will give plenty of drinking pleasure over the next decade." Wine Advocate-Parker

The Château La Tour de Mons is a single block vineyard, located in the northern part of the Margaux appellation, on the banks of the Garonne, as the best Médoc Crus. The origin of the château dates back to the 13th century. Amongst its illustrious owners was Pierre de Mons, who acquired the property in 1623 and gave it his name. The estate belonged to his lineage until the end of the 20th century.
Since the 1990’s, the new owners of the château have implemented a major renovation programme: building a new winery and an air conditioned storage cellar, large drainage programme, management of the vineyard in the interest of a sustainable ecological balance.
Everything is put together to produce a classic wine, elegant and pure, in the deepest respect for this great land of Margaux.
