Tasting notes
The 2025 Mauvesin Barton is matured in one-third new oak. It has a fairly straightforward bouquet with black plum and a light pressed flower note. It just needs a tad more energy. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, a fine, cohesive middle and an edgy, tobacco-tinged finish. Just a bit on the rustic side and needing a tad more precision.

Cassis and ripe cherry fruits define the 2025 Château Mauvesin Barton, a beautiful Moulis that picks up more spicy wood, graphite, and chocolate nuances with time in the glass. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, with ripe tannins, nicely integrated acidity, and beautiful overall balance. The tannin quality is also superb. Checking in as a blend of 48% Merlot, 48% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 4% Cabernet Franc, this hit 12.5% alcohol with a pH of 3.5.
Tight and polished, with a medium body, solid depth of fruit and polished, integrated tannins that give length and focus.
The 2025 Mauvesin Barton is packed with black fruits, mocha, gravel, chocolate and baking spices. This is a pretty extroverted vintage for the Mauvesin, a wine with notable textural depth and richness. There is some edginess in the tannins that needs to soften, but élevage should help with that. Tasted twice.
