2016 Chateau La Tour de Mons Margaux
Winemaker Notes: The Château La Tour de Mons 2016 is created as a blend of 70 % Merlot, 17 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 8 % Cabernet France and 5% Petit Verdot which creates its intense ruby red color. The very expressive fruity nose reveals cocoa, blackcurrants and black plums notes softly smoked. The attack is elegant and presents a well-balanced structure with a beautiful dense and round mouth balanced. The palate ends on soft tannins.
This Bordeaux red pairs well with red meats, poultry and game.
CRITICAL ACCLAIM
Wine Enthusiast - "Situated in one of the northern sectors of Margaux, this estate was created in the 13th century. This sumptuous wine has enormous power that is mitigated by the taut, mineral texture and black-currant flavors. It is a finely wrought wine that will take time to age. Drink from 2024. Cellar Selection."
James Suckling - "Dense and chewy with very firm and silky tannins. Full-bodied and powerful. Better than the 2015. Barrel Sample: 93-94."
