In 1245, it was the fief of the Lords of Blanquefort, owners of the place until 1453. Among its many owners, we will remember Pierre de Mons, who gave it his name according to the custom of the time, when he inherited the estate in 1623. He dedicated his life to the development of the vineyard. This is the beginning of the prestigious wine history of Ch\u00e2teau La Tour de Mons. In 1858, the property was classified as a &#8220;good bourgeois&#8221;.<\/h5>\n<h5>The work of the men, generation after generation, has thus made it possible to develop the superb terroir of Ch\u00e2teau La Tour de Mons, made up of Garonne gravel and clay-limestone, which are particularly suitable for the production of great wines. The vineyard today covers 48 hectares in one piece, a true Clos, located in the northern part of the Margaux Appellation, on the banks of the Garonne, alongside the greatest M\u00e9doc Crus.<\/h5>\n<div id=\"attachment_172262\" style=\"width: 910px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/marquis-de-mons-2009.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-172262\" class=\"size-full wp-image-172262\" src=\"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/marquis-de-mons-2009.jpg\" alt=\"The estate\" width=\"900\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/marquis-de-mons-2009.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/marquis-de-mons-2009-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/marquis-de-mons-2009-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/marquis-de-mons-2009-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/marquis-de-mons-2009-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-172262\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The estate<\/p><\/div>\n<h5>The estate belonged to the descendants of the de Mons family until the end of the 20th century.
