Marquis De Mons

This Margaux pairs well with beef, lamb, poultry, and game (deer, venison). Its balanced acidity and tannic structure complement rich and savory dishes.

Château La Tour de Mons is located in the Margaux appellation of Bordeaux. The vineyard is planted with 61% Merlot, 34% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Petit Verdot, and 2% Cabernet Franc. The estate practices sustainable viticulture to respect the environment and enhance the expression of its terroir.

The vinification of Marquis de Mons focuses on achieving balance, with supple tannins and good aromatic expression. A low-temperature alcoholic fermentation allows for gentle extraction, enabling red fruit aromas to develop. The wine is aged in French oak barrels to enhance its complexity and structure.

Nestled between the mountains for the north and Mediterranean Sea to the south, Bandol is a striking, tranquil Provencal landscape. Domaine de la Tour Bon owes its name to the watchtower which once stood atop the domaine, and sits at altitude (the highest in the AOC) on a limestone plateau in Le Brûlat du Castellet. They benefit from maritime breezes funnelling into an amphitheatre of arid red earth, clay, sand and gravel on a bedrock of limestone. The domaine has been under ownership of the Hocquard family since 1968, with Agnes Henry at the helm today. They have organic certification in managing their 14ha of vines. They have achieved worldwide acclaim, producing wines of structure and tension, precision and charm. Across the Blanc, Rose and Rouge the limestone lends complexity, length and cellar potential.
