Another gem of a wine from the talents of Marjolaine de Coninck, who manages all of the Perrodo family vineyards (Chateaux Labegorce and Marquis d'Alesme), the 2020 Chateau La Tour De Mons checks in as 57% Merlot, 36% Cabernet Sauvignon, and the rest Cabernet Franc, aged in 30% new oak. This medium-bodied, round, absolutely charming and delicious Margaux gives up lots of cedary, spicy herbs, sweet tobacco, and sandalwood nuances, and it's nicely textured, with soft tannins and a great finish. Where most 2020s really demand bottle age, this already offers loads of pleasure.

Really pretty and linear with a seamless, pretty core of blue fruit and firm, chewy tannins. Medium to full body. Racy and well done.

The 2020 La Tour de Mons has come together beautifully. Dark and enveloping, Tour de Mons possesses terrific depth and textural resonance right out of the gate. Succulent black cherry, plum, lavender, sweet spice and a kiss of oak linger.
