The La Tour de Mons 1979 vintage is a fascinating encounter with the prestige of Bordeaux's terroir. Originating from the Margaux appellation, renowned for producing wines of depth and elegance, it is a rare specimen. The château itself, built in the 13th century, has been producing esteemed wines for years, utilising both traditional and modern winemaking techniques. This wine is a blend of predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon, punctuated with the opulence of Merlot and a whisper of Petit Verdot. Matured in carefully selected oak barrels, the La Tour de Mons 1979 presents a complex palette of ripe dark fruit icons interlaced with hints of cedar and spice. Its aromatic depth and velvety tannins age gracefully, maintaining a fresh and well-balanced appeal. La Tour de Mons 1979, with its storied provenance and delicate craft, unequivocally stands as a testament to the authentic expression of Margaux. Truly, a profound statement of French viticulture heritage. |

Vinous - Antonio Galloni (84-87)The 2013 Tour de Mons comes across as a bit rough around the edges today, but it nevertheless possesses good depth and persistence at this level. Tobacco, smoke and cedar all add nuance on the fruity finish. |

Vinous - Neal Martin (92)The 2015 La Tour de Mons has a very perfumed bouquet with violet infused red fruit, more blueberry emerging with aeration. There is still some oak to be assimilated but it is in sync with the fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannin, fresh and focused. A precise and quite mineral-driven finish lingers long in the mouth. Excellent. Tasted blind at the Southwold 2015 Bordeaux tasting. |

Vinous - Neal Martin (91-93)The 2020 La Tour de Mons was picked from 17 September to 1 October and aged in 25% new oak. It has a perfumed nose with a mixture of red and black fruit, cedar and pressed iris flower, not intense but nicely delineated. The palate is medium-bodied with ripe and pliant tannins, well judged acidity, harmonious with very impressive oak integration towards the finish. This is a delightful Margaux that should drink well for 15-20 years. One to look out for. |

Jeb Dunnuck (93)The 2022 Château La Tour De Mons is a blend of 57% Merlot, 36% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Petit Verdot. It’s a beautifully ripe Margaux offering notes of red and blue fruits, rose petals, and background spicy oak. Medium to full-bodied, it’s beautifully balanced, with fine tannins and an elegant, seamless mouthfeel. Aged in 20% new oak for 12 months, it’s a classic, well-made Margaux that should evolve gracefully over the next 15+ years. |
