Château Mauvesin-Barton

This 46 hectare property was acquired by the Bartons in 2011, since then the vineyards have been overhauled and the cellars completely renovated. With centuries of winemaking experience and a wealth of expertise, the Barton family continues to uphold tradition and share their passion for the craft. In 2013, their daughter Mélanie was appointed winemaker, further strengthening the family’s commitment to excellence. The Barton family brings the same level of expertise to Château Mauvesin Barton as they do to their renowned Saint-Julien estates, Langoa and Léoville Barton, which have been in the family for eight generations The vineyard is located in the Moulis-en-Médoc appellation, and the soil is a mix of clay-gravel, ideal for cultivating Cabernet Franc and Merlot, while another section features fine gravel and gritty sand, providing the perfect conditions for Cabernet Sauvignon to achieve full ripeness. As with all the Barton family's endeavours, great importance is attached to environmental protection and the quality of the wines produced. The 55-hectare vineyard is planted with 54% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 11% Cabernet Franc.
