Tasting Notes

This is light but well done with balance and careful extaction of gentle, soft berry fruits. Hardly any tannic frame at all, this is working with not against the vintage, careful winemaking if a little soft on the finish. Harvest September 30 to October 11.

Score: 87

The 2021 Mauvesin Barton, the Barton family's Moulis, is a soft, fruity wine to drink now and over the next decade. Sweet red cherry fruit, cedar, pipe tobacco and incense give this mid-weight Moulis lovely aromatic presence.

Score: 88 - 90

The 2021 Mauvesin Barton was picked from 30 September until 11 October and aged in one-third new oak. There is more Cabernet this year (52%) due to frost damage. It has a vibrant nose with black cherries, bilberry and perhaps more floral scents than I have encountered apropos previous vintages. The palate is medium-bodied with fine grain tannins, not a deep or powerful Moulis, yet well-balanced and surfeit with freshness, a pleasant bitter swerve on the finish.

Score: 89 - 91

Neal Martin, Vinous.com Maturity: 2024-2038 01 May 2022

The 2021 Château Mauvesin Barton is both darker and richer, with more black cherry fruits as well as medium-bodied richness and depth, good acidity, and supple tannins. It's a charming, balanced, enjoyable wine.

Score: 87 - 88
