List of products by brand CHATEAU LA TOUR DE MONS
Château la Tour de Mons stands among the historic addresses of the Margaux appellation, rooted at Soussans since 1623 across a 58-hectare vineyard that brings together the finesse of Garonne gravels and the structure of argilo-calcareous soils.
Four centuries of Margaux history
The château takes its name from Pierre de Mons, who established the estate in 1623 on the northern slopes of the appellation, where the land rises gently above the Garonne. This is one of the older continuously cultivated properties in Margaux, and its longevity speaks to the quality of the terroir as much as to the succession of owners who have tended it. In 2020, Château la Tour de Mons entered a new chapter when the Perrodo family acquired it, adding the property to a portfolio that already included Châteaux Labégorce and Marquis d'Alesme — two well-regarded Margaux addresses. That consolidation within a single, committed family ownership has brought renewed investment and a clear sense of direction to the château.
Terroir: gravels, clay-limestone and a northern exposition
The 58-hectare vineyard sits on the northern coteaux of the Margaux AOC, close to the Garonne. The soils combine graves garonnaises — the classic deep, well-drained Médoc gravels that warm rapidly and stress the vine just enough — with argilo-calcaires, which bring water retention and mineral tension to the blend. This combination lends Château la Tour de Mons its characteristic profile: Margaux's signature aromatic delicacy underpinned by a firmer, more structured backbone than some of its neighbours further south. The encépagement is built around Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, with Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc completing the palette — a thoroughly classical Médoc assemblage that allows the winemaking team to fine-tune each vintage's balance between richness and freshness.
HVE certification and responsible viticulture
Château la Tour de Mons holds Haute Valeur Environnementale (HVE) certification, the French national standard recognising estates that manage biodiversity, phytosanitary inputs, fertilisation and water use to a demonstrably high environmental standard. For a 58-hectare property in the Médoc, achieving and maintaining HVE requires genuine commitment across the entire vineyard team. Under the Perrodo family's stewardship, this certification reflects a broader ambition: to produce wines that are true to the Margaux appellation while respecting the landscape that makes them possible.
The wines of Château la Tour de Mons
The château produces exclusively red wines under the Margaux AOC, vinified from the estate's four Bordeaux varieties. The range typically includes:
- Château la Tour de Mons — the grand vin, a structured, age-worthy Margaux red built on Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, with depth from Petit Verdot and aromatic lift from Cabernet Franc.
- Second and entry-level selections — approachable expressions of the same terroir, offering earlier drinking pleasure while retaining the appellation's characteristic floral elegance.
Across the range, the style is firmly in the classical Margaux register: perfumed, refined, with tannins that reward patience in the cellar.
Why we have selected Château la Tour de Mons
At Halles Quercamps, we have followed the Perrodo family's work at Margaux with genuine interest for some years. What drew us to Château la Tour de Mons specifically is the coherence of the project: a historic terroir at Soussans, a committed ownership group with proven experience across the appellation, and a clear upward trajectory in quality since 2020. The HVE certification adds a layer of confidence for buyers who care about how their wine is grown. We recommend these wines to confirmed Bordeaux enthusiasts looking for a Margaux address that combines genuine historical depth with the energy of a recently reinvigorated estate. At the table, the grand vin pairs beautifully with rack of lamb or a well-aged côte de bœuf; the lighter cuvées suit duck confit or a fine charcuterie board.
