Chateau La Tour de Mons 2005
Introduction
Château La Tour de Mons 2005 is a classic red wine from France, produced in the prestigious Margaux appellation of the Médoc region. This historic estate, which traces its origins back to the 13th century, is a true 'clos' located in the northern part of Margaux along the banks of the Garonne. Since 2020, the property has been owned by the Perrodo family, who also own the renowned Third Growth Château Marquis d'Alesme and Château Labégorce, continuing a philosophy that emphasizes balance, elegance, and respect for the unique gravel and limestone-clay terroir.
Wine Description
This 2005 vintage presents an intense, deep ruby colour with developing garnet hints. The aromatic profile is broad and complex, featuring a tapestry of black fruit, red plum, and violet interwoven with woody, spicy notes, cedar, and cocoa. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied and dense, offering a lush and harmonious texture with a 'frank' attack and a fine, well-integrated tannic structure. The varietal composition is a traditional blend of 61% Merlot, 33% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Petit Verdot, and 3% Cabernet Franc, aged for 12 months in French oak barrels. Stylistically, it combines richness and concentration with a persistent, fresh finish. This wine is currently in its optimal drinking prime, with a window extending through 2030 for well-cellared bottles.
