75cl * 13.5% ABV * Moulis-en-Medoc, Bordeaux 

In August 2011, The Barton Sartorius family acquired this historical wine producing estate and its Château that was re-baptized Château Mauvesin Barton. With the Barton family's centuries of experience and unique expertise behind them, each of the four family members plays a specific role, perpetuating tradition and sharing their passion; Lilian Barton Sartorius takes on the management of the Château, Michel Sartorius takes care of the wine distribution, Mélanie Barton Sartorius becomes technical manager and Damien Barton Sartorius brings his expertise to the commercialisation of the wine.

The vineyard is situated in the "Moulis-en-Médoc" appellation, to the north of Bordeaux, on the left bank of the Gironde estuary. Part of the soil is clay-gravel, perfectly adapted for the development of Cabernet-Franc and Merlot. Another part is made up of fine gravel and gritty sand, allowing the Cabernet Sauvignon to reach full ripeness. As for all the Barton family activities, great importance is attached to environmental protection and the quality of the wines produced.

The wine has been aged in the Mauvesin cellars and one-third of the barrels were of new oak. As a result there is a wonderful melange of dark fruits and toasted notes, bringing an intriguing nose and truly whetting the desire to enjoy this Bordeaux. Tannins and acidity are integrated and the wine is well rounded. 

Enjoy with a sunday roast joint of beef, at a barbeque or just to drink on its own for a good accessible Bordeaux with pedigree.
