The Wine
Situated in Moulis-en-Médoc, on the Left Bank of Bordeaux, Mauvesin Barton dates back to 1457, with the château being re-built in 1853. The Baritault de Carpia family owned it for several centuries, until the Barton family, of Langoa and Léoville-Barton fame, bought the estate in 2011. As owners of these prestigious Saint-Julien châteaux, they set out to improve quality, renovating the vineyards and cellars with great results. Château Mauvesin Barton is a Merlot-dominant blend with Cabernet Sauvignon and a splash of Cabernet Franc. It’s vinified in temperature-controlled, stainless steel tanks for fruit purity, then aged for up to 15 months in French oak barrels (one third new) for oak spice complexity. Delicious paired with stroganoff.
"Finely structured, well defined and delicate with fruit to the fore"
Georgina Hindle, Decanter
Made with the expertise of Bordeaux’s famous Barton family, this is a very appealing Moulis claret
