The 2021 Mauvisin Barton has a well-defined bouquet with brambly red fruit, crushed iris flower and a hint of cinnamon. Very classic in style, it’s nicely focused with neatly integrated oak. The palate is medium-bodied with more tension than the Deuxième

A fresh, unadorned style, with red currant and damson plum notes infused with black tea and sandalwood accents. Stylish. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Drink now through 2029. 5,300 cases made.  –JM

This classic Mauvesin has generous, pure, resonant fruit and a seamless palate. You are treated to a smooth, ripe mid-palate that shows no sign of introversion nor of a willingness to be bigger, wider, hotter or longer. It is perfectly balanced and nicely refreshing, and the fruit theme of black cherries and plums is enticing. 16.5

Nez précis, fruit défini, jolies notes florales et grillées, trame élégante, fondante, avec un grain fin et beaucoup de fraîcheur en finale. Bien vinifié et harmonieux. Aucun excès, très naturel.

Medium-bodied, the wine is earthy, savory and herbal, with strong underbrush and roasted, herb leaning on the palate and in the crisp finish. Drink this on the young side. Drink from 2023-2029. 86-88

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.

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.

Mittleres Rubinrot. Anfangs verhaltene Nase, braucht etwas Zeit, zeigt dann Teearomen, dunkle Früchte, auch etwas Brotkruste. Der Gaumen ist schlank, sauber und ohne zu dominantes Tannin, die Säure ist markant, hält frisch. Im Abgang von mittlerer Länge, intensiv rotfruchtig und ohne jegliche Trockenheit. Sehr schön. 2025-2036 (Verkostet im April 2022. Vintex/Daniel Vins)

Nez grillé, réglisse, fusain et fruits noirs frais. Acidité marquée, une légère sensation de sécheresse en bouche avec une finale plutôt longue.
