cabernet franc, cabernet sauvignon, merlot
Description
Château Mauvesin has a rich history, dating back to the fifteenth century, but it only became Château Mauvesin Barton in 2011 when the Barton family bought the estate. The Barton family are deeply rooted in Bordeaux and trace their heritage to 1722 when Thomas Barton departed Ireland and began the family legacy. The family invested heavily to modernise the vineyards and winery in the intervening decade, and now consistently make one of the best value Bordeaux for early enjoyment.Potential Drinking Window 2023-2032
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.
