'Chateau La Tour de Mons' was formerly 'Tour de Marsac'.
Critic tasting note: (2008 vintage) "Medium bodied, fully mature, soft, easy drinking wine with freshness to the earthy, cedar and cigar box tinged, red fruits. Drink up sooner than later. 87 Points" - Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider

- Winemaking
-
After hand-picking and careful sorting of the grapes in the winery, batches are placed in separate stainless steel tanks depending on their origin. Plot selection and traceability is thus meticulous. Low temperature fermentation over an extended period allows soft extraction. Each batch is then drawn off into barrels. Press wine is carefully selected and then blended.

The wine will age for 12 months in French oak barrels, 30% of which are new each year.
- Producer Tasting Notes

With an intense colour, the wine displays a very broad aromatic range that combines woody, spicy and fruity notes. Elegant and distinguished, this enticing wine, rich in density and concentration with a fine tannic structure offers a fantastic potential for ageing.
