Margaux.

Château La Tour de Mons is one of the oldest estates in the Médoc as it has a history that dates back 700 years to the 13th century and ranks among Bordeaux's all-time greatest. Taking its name from Pierre de Mons, who renamed the property after purchasing it in 1623. Château La Tour de Mons remained in the same family hands until 1995 when it was sold to CA Grands Crus.

Its vines are particularly well-oriented on fine gravelly hilltops and produce a generous wine with the refined bouquet characteristic of the Margaux appellation. Numerous improvements have been made by the current owners. Having lavished a level of care on the property worthy of a cru classé, they have further improved the wine's reputation.

Marquis de Mons is the second wine of the Margaux estate La Tour de Mons. A blend of Merlot and Cabernet-Sauvignon grapes that are hand-harvested and sorted rigorously. Parcel by parcel vinification in thermoregulated stainless steel and an elevage of 12 months in oak barriques ensure that this wine is charming in its youth and after a decade or so in the cellar. The nose is marked by the fruit that is also apparent on the palate. This is a generous and opulent wine with fine tannins.
