2021 Mauvesin Barton 6 Pack

The Barton Dynasty What makes the history of the Barton family so fascinating is how each generation has left its mark and added its stone to this exceptional heritage. In 1722, Thomas Barton left his native Ireland to settle in Bordeaux. He founded a wine trading company and, above all, a family, or rather a dynasty, which to this day remains the longest family continuity among the classified growths. In 1821, Hugh Barton, Thomas's grandson, bought Château Langoa, then in 1826, Château Léoville. Thanks to his talent and efficiency, the two Saint-Julien estates, renamed Léoville Barton and Langoa Barton, were respectively classified 2nd and 3rd Grand Cru Classé in 1855. The Barton family is today one of the only families in Bordeaux that still owns its properties since the 1855 classification. Many generations have succeeded one another, like guardians of the vineyards, but it is Anthony Barton, the gentleman of the Médoc, who has raised the reputation of Château Léoville-Barton to its current international level. Lilian Barton-Sartorius, the 9th generation, now manages the different properties. In 2011, she brought Château Mauvesin into the family fold, which was later renamed Château Mauvesin Barton. Today, Mélanie and Damien, 10th generation, are involved in the development of the different family wineries, thus perpetuating the legacy of Thomas Barton. Château Mauvesin Barton, the elegance of a wine, the passion of a family Château Mauvesin Barton has a 47-hectare vineyard located in the Moulis-en-Médoc appellation. Its parcels, offering extraordinary diversity, each allow the grapes to reveal their most subtle aromas: A clay-limestone soil for the Merlot and then fine gravel for the Cabernet Sauvignon. In 2013, Mélanie Barton Sartorius, the family's first winemaker, joined the adventure. With a solid background, she took over the technical direction shortly after and launched a replanting program of the vineyard. Today she produces elegant and balanced wines.
