2022 Château Mauvesin Barton, Moulis en Médoc

2022 Château Mauvesin Barton, Moulis en Médoc

Tasted April 2023. 14.2%. Quite possibly the best Mauvesin Barton we've tasted, the 2022 has a lovely frangrant, juicy character, with expressive, ripe, black fruit, floral notes and spice. It's open and delicious now, but there's structure and complexity here to age.

Tasting notes

Seriously deep colour, and plenty of perfume, heather, blackberry and crushed roses, this is really an impressive Mauvesin this is one that I think will surprise many people. More accessible than many because it keep freshness and juice running through it, but has the depth and concentration of the vintage. One to look out for. Eric Boissenot consultant, 33% new oak for ageing.

The 2022 Château Mauvesin Barton is terrific, with a ripe, medium-bodied, elegant profile as well as impressive cassis and currant-like fruit, some tobacco and graphite aromatics, fine tannins, and a great finish. It’s a brilliant Moulis in the making.

A polished and pretty wine with blackberries and cherries. Hints of hazelnut. Medium body. Fine tannins. Long finish.

The 2022 Mauvesin Barton is a joy to taste today. Plump, juicy and forward, the 2022 is marvelously seductive right out of the gate. Expressive floral and spice notes lend complexity to the sweet red cherry/plum fruit. Soft, caressing contours add a gorgeous sense of immediacy.

Château Mauvesin Barton

The Moulis estate of Château Mauvesin was acquired by Bordeaux stalwarts, the Bartons, in 2011. Lilian Barton Sartorius added her family name to the property and undertook a complete renovation of the whole estate. The château, winery and vineyards all received typical Barton attention to detail and were upgraded accordingly. There are 220 hectares surrounding the château, which was built as a fort in 1457 and was owned and run by the Baritault de Carpia family for several hundred years and at least 4 generations lived in the property. Today there are 55 hectares of vines consisting of 54% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon and 11% Cabernet Franc on clay, gravel and sand. Under the Bartons’ winemaking skills, critical acclaim is coming in from wine critics such as Antonio Galloni who gave the 2018 vintage a score of 90.
