Wine Enthusiast
Reviewed May 2019Situated in one of the northern sectors of Margaux, this estate was created in the 13th century. This sumptuous wine has enormous power that is mitigated by the taut, mineral texture and black-currant flavors. It is a finely wrought wine that will take time to age. Drink from 2024. *Cellar Selection* (RV)

Dense and chewy with very firm and silky tannins. Full-bodied and powerful. Better than the 2015.

Here we are stepping up a gear for this estate, with careful but not shy fruit extraction, some real intensity to the silky raspberry and bilberry flavours, and tannins that cradle without overpowering the fruit. Brilliant value for money in a wine where you get a hint of the floral silkiness of Margaux. Owned by CA Grands Crus, the same group that owns Grand Puy Ducasse, Tour de Mons is benefitting from recent investments together with the sure touch of technical director Anne le Naour. 56% Merlot, 38% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 6% Petit Verdot.

Light cocoa powder and tobacco accents line the core of crushed plum and cherry preserve flavors. A toasty edge holds sway on the finish. (JM)

Another classic Margaux and for a price that is astonishingly affordable. Raspberries, cocoa, touch of tobacco, and inviting notes of incense and spices. Approachable now. A Perfect pairing with a rack of lamb!
