CHATEAU MAUVESIN BARTON

Château Mauvesin Barton, located in the Moulis-en-Médoc appellation of Bordeaux, France, has a rich history dating back to 1457 when it was acquired by Jean de Foix Grailly. Originally a fortified castle, the estate underwent significant transformations over the centuries, including the construction of the current Louis XIII-style château in 1853 by Marquis Lodoïs Le Blanc de Mauvesin.   

In August 2011, the Barton family, renowned for their ownership of esteemed estates such as Château Léoville Barton and Château Langoa Barton in Saint-Julien, acquired Château Mauvesin. The estate was subsequently renamed Château Mauvesin Barton. Under the stewardship of Lilian Barton-Sartorius and her children, Mélanie and Damien, the family initiated extensive renovations to both the vineyards and winemaking facilities, aiming to elevate the quality and reputation of the estate’s wines. 

The château’s vineyards span approximately 48 hectares and are planted with a blend of grape varieties: 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Petit Verdot. This composition reflects the estate’s commitment to producing balanced and expressive Bordeaux wines. 

Château Mauvesin Barton produces a range of wines that embody the elegance and complexity characteristic of the Moulis-en-Médoc terroir. The estate’s flagship wine is complemented by a second label, L’Impression de Mauvesin Barton, offering a different expression of the vineyard’s potential.
