Margaux

Deep garnet-purple colored. Notes of tar and sautéed herbs give way to red and black plums and damp soil. The light-bodied palate is crisp and herb-laced while a bit thin on the fruit and short on the finish.

by Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW

Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2023 La Tour de Mons strolls out of the glass with easy-going scents of cranberry sauce, black raspberries, and redcurrant preserves followed by hints of dried herbs, tree bark, and black olives. The medium-bodied palate is refreshing and invigorating, with red berries and herbal flavors supported by a racy backbone and lightly chewy tannins, finishing on a peppery note. The blend is 57% Merlot, 34% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Petit Verdot, and 4% Cabernet Franc.

Softer shape to this than many wines in the appellation, a reflection of the clay limestone soils that make it pretty atypical for Margaux, and here the spices highlight nutmeg and cinnamon along with ripe damson fruits, fresh acidities that give a welcome kick of juice on the end, 60% new oak, harvest September 8 to 22, 100% handpicked since Nathalie Perrodo took over in 2020.

The blend given is planted, not as per final wine, as they allow for a slight evolution of the blend after ageing, so these are ones to check back in on when in bottle.

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2020 La Tour de Mons delivers impactful, classic notes of cassis, cedar, and dried bay leaves with hints of cumin seed, fallen leaves, and fertile loam. Medium-bodied, the palate is elegant and refreshing with fine-grained tannins and a lifted finish.
