Housing elegance and a beautiful balance, I highly recommend this Château Marquis de Mons 2011. The freshness of this wine is amazing. Sweet and concentrated, the structure is also abundant and generous. Some hint of a game with a touch of leather appears after being opened for some time. A Saint Emilion Grand Cru as we like them. On the palate, we have a mix of flavors and aromas with a long and full finish. A little bit toasted note with a nice touch of vanilla.
WINE STATS
The concentrated alcohol along the glass is a sign of its concentration. The nose is opulent, full and ripe. Some blackcurrant aromas on the first flavor are followed by ripe red fruit of blackberry with some touch of game and leather. The palate attach is sweet, full, and powerful. The alcohol is well present in this 2011 with smooth tannin. It’s well balanced between acidity and sweetness as well as possessing a full body and rich structure with a finish that is very agreeable and develops a mature fruity taste. It goes a nice length on the palate, offering a unique freshness and quality.

ABOUT THE PROPERTY
In the heart of Saint Emilion in a South West of France, this château is situated in Saint Hippolyte from 1 hour to Bordeaux City. The vast majority of this beautiful 13-Hectare property contains Merlot. The Cabernet franc is also very important to the blend. This grape variety brings color, spice, and beautiful aromas. Its good aging potential mixes very well with the structure of Merlot.
The owner, Mr Michel Maillou, who bought this château in the years 2000 marks well his style through this 2011. He is also owner of Château Le Jard in Lalande de Pomerol, which is a concentrated and fleshy wine.
The particularity of the soil is chalky clay. There is extremely good acidity and water penetration as these factors are very important for the growth of vines.
Each year the château produces around 20 000 bottles.
