Château La Tour de Mons 2019

A great 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 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.

The vintage
Favorable to a great vintage, the weather conditions of this 2019 year were contrasted. A serene start to the cycle and very favorable summer conditions were followed by light rains in September perfecting the maturity of the berries.

Vinification and aging
Aging in barrels (30% new).

Blend
Merlot (47%), cabernet sauvignon (46%), cabernet franc (5%), petit verdot (2%).
