Château Mauvesin Barton, a historical estate in Moulis-en-Médoc, found new life under the stewardship of the esteemed Barton Sartorius family in 2011. The vineyard's diverse terroir of clay-gravel and fine gravel with gritty sand provides an ideal canvas for Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc to thrive. Spanning 46 hectares, this left-bank Bordeaux gem benefits from centuries of winemaking expertise, with the family's commitment to environmental protection evident in their meticulous vineyard management.
L'Impression de Mauvesin Barton, crafted from the estate's younger vines, showcases the potential of this reinvigorated property. This vibrant blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc offers a brilliant garnet hue and an expressive bouquet of spices and sun-kissed strawberries. On the palate, it delivers a juicy and structured experience, with approachable tannins that dance across the tongue. The wine's immediate drinkability and sapid character make it a delightful companion to a wide array of cuisines, epitomizing the charm of Moulis-en-Médoc.
The 2019 L'Impression De Mauvesin Barton is a terrific Moulis that has real density and depth, offering medium-bodied aromas and flavors of red cherries, redcurrants, cedary spice, and dried herbs. It has supple tannins, terrific balance, and a great finish. It's well worth drinking over the coming 7-8 years.
The 2019 L’Impression de Mauvesin Barton offers red plum and raspberry coulis on the nose, light rose petal scents percolating through with time. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, and quite peppery and pretty on the finish.
46% Merlot, 44% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Cabernet Franc. 12 months in old oak barrels.
Lots of sandalwood fragrance dominating the palate at the moment. Elegant, silky tannins. As it opens in the glass, beautifully ripe blackcurrant fruit unrolls like black ribbons down the tongue, framed in eucalyptus embers. (TC)
