2018 | Chateau Mauvesin Barton | Moulis-en-Medoc

Intense purple dress. Nose of red fruits, cherry and gooseberry harmoniously combining with toasted notes. Full-bodied and well-balanced wine on the palate with soft tannins and a mellow oak.

Reviews:

• Decanter: They produced no 2017 here due to frost, so it's good to see it back and benefitting from all the work the Bartons have done here since arriving at the property. It's a little chewy and austere but good quality. The bright palate is rippling with redcurrant and bramble fruit. A cheerful wine with a firm tannic structure - quite a classical take on the vintage.

• Wine Spectator: Shows gentle charm, with a kirsch and tobacco core framed by light dust and balsam hints.

Producer Information

The history of Chateau Mauvesin dates from the 15th Century. It was in 1457 that Jean de Foix Grailly became proprietor of the first Chateau de Mauvesin (for there will be two) in the district of “Moulis en Médoc”. At this time it was a true fortified castle with towers, battlements and arrowslites. Fifty years later it was acquired by the family de La Rivière and then through the marriage in 1582 of Marguerite de La Rivière with Jacques Le Blanc, who thus became “seigneur” of Mauvesin.Soon after the Revolution in 1792 the old chateau was seized by the state and put up for sale in Lesparre, where it was attributed to “citizen” Clarcke acting for the account of … Pauline Le Blanc.The old chateau remained the property of the family but due to its state of ruin, it was demolished in 1852.Having built the chateau in 1853, the Marquis Lodoïs Le Blanc de Mauvesin died in 1884 leaving no direct heirs. He decided to leave his patrimony to his first cousin, Hyppolite de Baritault du Carpia, his closest relative.
