2020 Château Mauvesin Barton Moulis en Médoc

92 POINTS

Jane Anson - Decanter

Melanie Barton has now been in charge at Mauvesin-Barton for 10 years, and there is a real feeling of the wine having found its voice - a gentle, fruit-forward Moulis with finesse if not a huge amount of power. Delicate with vibrancy, plenty of blackberry fruits with well-defined but soft tannins, they have really done a great job in the vintage, a value pick and I can't remember tasting a better example of this wine during en primeur. They suffered badly from frost in 2021.

James Suckling

Aromas of black cherries and mulberries with hints of licorice and dried orange peel. Medium-bodied with silky texture and firm, slightly chewy tannins. Structured and compact with succulent fruit and a lingering finish with some savory notes to it.

Roger Voss - Wine Enthusiast

Made with 59% of Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine has a good structure and some solid tannins. It also has brilliant fruit, bright with black currant flavors and acidity that will age well. Drink from 2026.
