Tasting Note

A lovely, mature Moulis with blackcurrant fruit and a long, elegant finish.

Producer

Chateau Mauvesin is one of the leading properties in the Moulis and traces its roots back to 1457. In 2011 it was purchased by Lillian Barton Sartorius to join the existing family Chateau of Leoville and Langoa Barton.

The Moulis en Medoc appellation sits between Margaux and Saint Julien and has a long respected terroir, although slightly under the radar today. Mauvesin Barton has 55 hectares under vine, comprising 54% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon and 11% Cabernet Franc. The average age of the vines is 35 years.
