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!

Revue du vin de France : 90-92/100 « Délicieux, tel est le terme qui qualifie ce 2023 au fruité savoureux et à la bouche très soyeuse. Un vin très charmeur et élégant qui devrait offrir beaucoup de plaisir dans sa jeunesse. »
Le Point : 16/20 « Nez baies noires, bouche sérieuse, un vin moins flatteur que certaines années mais solide, droit, juteux. »
Galloni : 87-89/100 « The 2023 Mauvesin Barton is a potent, dark wine. A blast of dark cherry, plum, chocolate and gravel gives the 2023 its exuberant profile. I find the tannins a bit imposing and large in scale. It will be interesting to see if this softens with time. Today, it is quite the bruiser. »
Martin : 89-91/100 « The 2023 Mauvesin Barton has an attractive bouquet with black plum, cassis and light floral scents. This is nicely defined. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins and modest weight, but the oak is a little conspicuous toward the finish. It doesn't quite have the ambition or complexity of the 2022, though it represents a fine, perhaps earlier- drinking Moulis-en-Médoc. »
