Margaux Chateau la Tour de Mons 2010

Lovely ruby colour. Nose shows a very complex aromatic range with oaky, fruity and spicy notes. Powerful, complex and elegant, the wine is full bodied, with supple and well integrated tannins.
It is a great wine produced in a great vintage with a superb potential for ageing.

Climatic Conditions – Flowering of merlot was somewhat handicapped by cool, humid weather in June, which considerably reduced the yields from this variety. Otherwise 2010 fulfilled all the conditions for a great vintage, allowing to produce perfectly ripe grapes for every plot.

Harvest – 23rd to 19th October

Yields – 47 hl / ha

Winemaking – Following hand-picking, the grapes are carefully sorted once again at the winery. Fermentation is carried out in temperature controlled stainless-steel tanks allowing slow fermentation at low temperature. The wine ages 12 months in French oak barrels, 40% of which are new.

Awards and Press Comments – Decanter: Recommended Wine – 16,25 / 20; Rober Parker: 89 / 100; James Suckling: 92 / 100
