Chateau La Tour de Mons, Margaux, 2020

Chateau La Tour de Mons is one of Margaux's most historic properties, its fortified manor in Soussans tracing back centuries, and a longtime Cru Bourgeois Superieur. The 2020 marks a new chapter: the estate was acquired by the Perrodo family, owners of neighboring Labegorce and the Grand Cru Classe Marquis d'Alesme — a serious upgrade in resources and ambition. The 2020 vintage gave Bordeaux ripe, concentrated, well-structured reds, and this is a classic Margaux blend of Cabernet and Merlot. Approachable with decanting now, with plenty of room to develop in the cellar.
