Fleur de Mons offers the Margaux appellation at a price that does not require an occasion. Cabernet Sauvignon led, grown on the same gravel that makes the commune's famous names, and made in the aromatic, supple style Margaux is known for.
Tasting Notes
Deep ruby. Expressive notes of blackcurrant, liquorice, vanilla and subtle spice. Supple and smooth on the palate, with a creamy texture, fine tannins and a long, elegant finish. Margaux's gravel soils and temperate climate produce the most aromatic and refined wines of the Médoc, and this is a straightforward, well made expression of that character.
