Tasting Notes
Jeb Dunnuck 90-92
The 2022 Chateau Mauvesin Barton is terrific, with a ripe, medium-bodied, elegant profile as well as impressive cassis and currant-like fruit, some tobacco and graphite aromatics, fine tannins, and a great finish. It s a brilliant Moulis in the making.
Jane Anson 92
Seriously deep colour, and plenty of perfume, heather, blackberry and crushed roses, this is really an impressive Mauvesin this is one that I think will surprise many people. More accessible than many because it keep freshness and juice running through it, but has the depth and concentration of the vintage. One to look out for. Eric Boissenot consultant, 33% new oak for ageing.
Anticipated maturity: 2027-2038
The Wine Independent 91-93+
The 2022 Mauvesin Barton is composed of 55% Merlot, 36% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 9% Cabernet Franc, aging in 33% new oak barrels. Deep garnet-purple in color, it skips out with lively notions of fresh blackberries, black raspberries, and red currant jelly. The medium to full bodied palate delivers taut, muscular fruit with wonderfully firm, fine-grained tannins and lovely freshness throughout, finishing long and fruity. Seriously impressive!
Anticipated maturity: 2027-2042

The 2022 Mauvesin Barton is a joy to taste today. Plump, juicy and forward, the 2022 is marvelously seductive right out of the gate. Expressive floral and spice notes lend complexity to the sweet red cherry/plum fruit. Soft, caressing contours add a gorgeous sense of immediacy.
Anticipated maturity: 2025-2040
