    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note
    Château Mauvesin Barton, Moulis, 2022

    There’s a real generosity to the fruit here, a good juicy core of plums and griotte, with a glossy texture, surrounded by surprisingly ripe, smooth tannins. We can’t recall tasting a cask sample of Mauvesin with this much appeal or sophistication.

    Seriously deep colour, and plenty of perfume, heather, blackberry and crushed roses, this is really an impressive Mauvesin this is one that I think will surprise many people. More accessible than many because it keep freshness and juice running through it, but has the depth and concentration of the vintage. One to look out for. Eric Boissenot consultant, 33% new oak for ageing.

    The 2022 Mauvesin Barton is composed of 55% Merlot, 36% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 9% Cabernet Franc, aging in 33% new oak barrels. Deep garnet-purple in color, it skips out with lively notions of fresh blackberries, black raspberries, and red currant jelly. The medium to full bodied palate delivers taut, muscular fruit with wonderfully firm, fine-grained tannins and lovely freshness throughout, finishing long and fruity. Seriously impressive!

    The 2022 Mauvesin Barton was picked 13 September to 15 October and aged in one-third new oak. It is initially quite backward on the nose and demands encouragement, revealing blackberry, chimney soot and tobacco scents with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, the cedar-infused black fruit tinged with white pepper and pencil shaving. Composed, nothing over-ambitious, yet long and tender on the finish. It is one of the best vintages that I have tasted from this estate that is owned by the Barton-Sartorius family. Tasted twice with consistent notes.
