The structure and balance of a red wine from Margaux
The property
With origins dating back to the 13th century, the Château La Tour de Mons is one of the oldest wine estates in Margaux. Classified as Cru Bourgeois Supérieur, Château La Tour de Mons underwent significant renovation work during the 1990s. Managed by CA Grands Crus since 2012 and under the direction of Anne Le Naour, technical director of the property, Château La Tour de Mons produces wines that reflect the full typicity and authenticity of the Margaux appellation on the left bank of Bordeaux.
The vineyard
In one piece, the 48 hectares of vines of Château La Tour de Mons extend over Garonne gravels and clay-limestone soils in the heart of the AOC Margaux.
Blend
Cabernet sauvignon, merlot, cabernet franc and petit verdot.
