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.

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.

"Finely structured, well defined and delicate with fruit to the fore" Georgina Hindle, Decanter
