Château MAUVESIN BARTON
Red

Léoville-Barton did not have any attached cru (such as Potensac and Léoville-Las Cases, Pibran and Pichon-Baron, etc.). This "gap" was filled in 2011 with the acquisition of a beautiful historical cru bourgeois de Moulis, Mauvesin, immediately renamed Mauvesin-Barton to show the Barton family's involvement in this new challenge. In all confidence!

Vinous (A. Galloni) : 89-91/100 "The 2024 Mauvesin Barton is a soft, fruity Moulis-en-Médoc to drink now and over the next handful of years. Blackberry, gravel, incense, licorice and dark spice are front and center. This is an especially virile almost somber Moulis. Merlot suffered frost damage, so the wine is a bit more Cabernet Sauvignon-drivent in 2024. That is very much in evidence."

J-M Quarin : 88/100 « Beau rouge sombre, intense. Nez un peu discret, au fruité mûr. Bouche moelleuse et savoureuse, à la tannicité bien enrobée et même parfumée. Ensemble très agréable. »

Vinous (N. Martin) : 87-89/100 "The 2024 Mauvesin Barton has a pleasant bouquet with more complexity than its peers, offering brambly red fruit, hints of sage and cedar. The oak is deftly utilised here. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins and modest weight, classically styled as usual with a fresh if short finish."
