Critics Ratings

‘The 2016 Mauvésin Barton, from the Barton family’s Moulis-en-Médoc estate, is in fine form. It has lost the floral elements on the nose that I observed previously, the fruit turning a little darker with blackberry, bilberry and touches of raspberry. It is a little disjointed at first but melds together with aeration. The palate, again, demands decanting to really coalesce. Like many 2016 Left Bank wines, there is no shortage of fruit, although it requires air to shave just a soupçon of rusticity. With impressive depth on the finish, this Mauvésin Barton is reaching its drinking plateau and will continue to give pleasure over the next decade.’ - Neal Martin, Vinous, 91/100 (Jan 2025)

‘Tasted blind. Full and round. More luscious than most. 2023-2028’ - Jancis Robinson, jancisrobinson.com, 15.5/20 (Jan 2020)
