As crtitic Jeb Dunnuck said: "Bordeaux has another terrific vintage on its hands with 2020" and Château Mauvesin Barton is a great example. Expressing intense red fruits and savoury oak spice, it’s an elegant red made by the renowned Barton family.

The Wine
Situated in Moulis-en-Médoc, on the Left Bank of Bordeaux, Mauvesin Barton dates back to 1457, with the château being re-built in 1853. The Baritault de Carpia family owned it for several centuries, until the Barton family, of Langoa and Léoville-Barton fame, bought the estate in 2011. As owners of these prestigious Saint-Julien châteaux, they set out to improve quality, renovating the vineyards and cellars with great results. Château Mauvesin Barton is a Merlot-dominant blend with Cabernet Sauvignon and a splash of Cabernet Franc. It’s vinified in temperature-controlled, stainless steel tanks for fruit purity, then aged for up to 15 months in French oak barrels (one third new) for oak spice complexity. Delicious paired with stroganoff.
