2022 Chateau Mauvesin Barton

The 2022 Château Mauvesin Barton is a refined Moulis-en-Médoc from the Barton family, whose generations of Bordeaux winemaking expertise are reflected in this elegant Left Bank blend. The outstanding 2022 vintage combines Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc to produce a wine with vibrant fruit, polished structure and excellent balance. The nose opens with aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry and ripe plum, complemented by violet, cedar, graphite and subtle baking spice.

On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with fresh acidity and fine, silky tannins. Flavours of cassis, black cherry and dark berries are layered with hints of liquorice, cocoa and gentle French oak, leading to a long, smooth finish with a refined mineral edge. The wine offers an approachable style while retaining the structure and freshness expected from a quality Left Bank Bordeaux.

Ben's Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for those seeking a classic Bordeaux with elegance and exceptional value. Pair with roast lamb, grilled ribeye, beef fillet, duck breast or mature hard cheeses. Enjoy now with a short decant or cellar for the next 8–12 years as it develops additional complexity.
