2019 Château Mauvesin Barton Moulis en Médoc

Jeremy Oliver

Simply a brilliant, long, fine and textural Right Bank blend whose developing, faintly cigarboxy bouquet of dark cherries and plums, redcurrants dark chocolates and orange rind precedes a long, measured and beautifully balanced palate whose dark fruit extends with perfect ripeness and excellent oak integration down and finely structured and faintly gravelly spine towards a lingering and finely balanced finish.

Georgina Hindle - Decanter

Delicate florality to this, smells wonderful, bursting with flowers and black fruits - incredibly welcoming. Lovely acidity on the palate, you can feel this is lively with great energy and drive pushing the red fruit flavours across the palate. The tannins are soft but they are mouth coating and really do mask a lot of what is going on right now. A big mouthful but with brightness and verve underneath. Lovely long length and good persistency and freshness. One to seek out and hold on to.

91–93. Barrel Sample. This estate has been fully renovated and is now producing attractive wines. This vintage is rich in black fruits, full-bodied and luscious. The tannins are present in the structured background. It has a fine medium-term future.

This is a ripe, full wine, the fruit dominant and the tannins in a supporting role. That gives the wine density and structure along with a richness that are well-suited to aging. Drink from 2025.
