The 2015 Mauvesin Barton is a blend of 42% Merlot, 38% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot, the first vintage that Mélanie Barton-Sartorius was "on her own" to make the wine. It has a straightforward raspberry and wild strawberry-scented bouquet, a little more tertiary in style than its peers, but with good definition. The palate is medium-bodied with light tannin, perhaps somewhat rustic in style compared to its peers, with a savory finish that needs to develop more persistence on the finish. This is a fine Moulis, although I think there is better to come"

Tiefes Purpur, satt in der Mitte, Granatschimmer am Rand. Frisches Bouquet, Fliedernoten, Brombeerblüten, dezent kühle Ausstrahlung. Im Gaumen fein und elegant, gut balanciert und so gut wie noch nie. Zwar kein Reisser - aber immerhin auf dem Wege immer besser zu werden.
Vinous Antonio Galloni 2016 ( 86-88 Punkte)
The 2015 Mauvesin Barton is a very pretty wine. Sweet red cherry, cranberry, rose petal and mint are all nicely delineated. Bright, floral and lifted throughout, the Mauvesin Barton shows the more delicate, gracious side of the vintage"
