2020 Château Mauvesin Barton, Moulis en Médoc

2020 Château Mauvesin Barton, Moulis en Médoc

The other wine in the Barton family, the 2020 Mauvesin is lovely. It's cool and suave, with lots of whole berry fruit, a lick of spice, and plenty of grippy yet fine grained tannins. A lovely claret for the table, from one of Bordeaux's most talented families.

Tasting notes

Melanie Barton has now been in charge at Mauvesin-Barton for 10 years, and there is a real feeling of the wine having found its voice - a gentle, fruit-forward Moulis with finesse if not a huge amount of power. Delicate with vibrancy, plenty of blackberry fruits with well-defined but soft tannins, they have really done a great job in the vintage, a value pick and I can't remember tasting a better example of this wine during en primeur. They suffered badly from frost in 2021.
