2020 · Château La Tour de Mons

Château La Tour de Mons is a historic Margaux estate whose roots date back to 1098. Acquired by the Perrodo family in 2020, it is managed by Marjolaine de Coninck, with vineyard and winemaking guidance from Claude Gros and consultant Hubert de Bouard. The property is a single-block vineyard on Garonne gravel and limestone-clay soils, with average vine age around 40 years. Recent investment has brought a new winery, improved drainage, and air-conditioned storage, alongside an emphasis on sustainable ecological practices. In the cellar, fruit is hand-picked, fermented at low temperature in stainless steel, and aged for 12 months in French oak, with 30–40% new barrels.
