2019 Chateau Mauvesin Barton

FRIARWOOD SAYS. "Château Mauvesin Barton 2019 exemplifies the elegance and balance that Bordeaux enthusiasts seek. Enjoy now for its freshness or allow it to age gracefully over the next decade.". ABOUT THE WINE. Château Mauvesin Barton 2019 is a superb representation of the prestigious Moulis-en-Médoc appellation on Bordeaux’s left bank. Owned by the Barton Sartorius family since 2011, this historical estate was reborn with a focus on tradition and elegance. The vineyard benefits from its proximity to the Gironde estuary, producing wines of depth and refinement. The 2019 vintage features a blend of 64% Merlot, 27% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 9% Cabernet Franc, expertly aged for 12 to 15 months in French oak barrels, with one-third being new oak.. TASTING NOTES. A vibrant purple hue introduces this wine, followed by an aromatic nose with delicate woody notes, red fruit, and strawberry. The palate delivers a refreshing entry with bright acidity, a balanced structure, and fine tannins. This vintage promises further development but already provides exceptional drinking pleasure.. FOOD PAIRING. Pair this elegant Bordeaux with rich and flavourful dishes such as lamb chops with rosemary, roasted duck breast, or beef tenderloin. For cheese pairings, opt for aged Comté, Gruyère, or a creamy Brie to complement the wine’s velvety tannins and red fruit nuances.
