Fresh and racy, with a succulent edge as well as damson plum, red currant, lilac and savory notes that drive through expressively. Sleek finish. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc.

The 2019 La Tour de Mons is a very pretty, floral Margaux to drink now and over the next few years. Crushed flowers, spice, cedar, tobacco and blood orange all grace this understated, classy Margaux.

While this wine is powerful and structured, it still manages to tick the boxes of stylish Margaux. The ripe black currant jelly fruits are balanced by the wine's impressive acidity and structure.
