In August 2011, The Barton Sartorius family acquired this historical wine producing estate and its Château that was re-baptized Château Mauvesin Barton.
The vineyard is situated in the "Moulis-en-Médoc" appellation, to the north of Bordeaux, on the left bank of the Gironde estuary. Part of the soil is clay-gravel, perfectly adapted for the development of Cabernet-Franc and Merlot. Another part is made up of fine gravel and gritty sand, allowing the Cabernet Sauvignon to reach full ripeness.
Tasting Notes: Ruby color, nose of toasted hazelnut and red fruits (cherry, blueberry). Delicate tannins. Wine with balance and finesse. Fresh, almost minty finish. Nice length and drinkability
Food Pairing: Pairs well with classic Bordeaux dishes like roasted lamb and beef tenderloin, as well as hearty stews, game meats, aged cheeses, mushroom risotto, and grilled portobello mushrooms. Its rich tannins and bold flavors complement robust, flavorful dishes.
ABV: 13.5% / Varieties: 54% Merlot, 39.5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6.5% Cabernet Franc / Origin: Bordeaux, France
