2022, Château Mauvesin Barton, AOC MOULIS-EN-MÉDOC

Bordeaux Blend: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot.

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. 90-92 Antonio Galloni, Vinous. 

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. 92 Jane Anson, Decanter.

Drinking Window: 2025 - 2030
