Château Mauvesin Barton
Between the gravelly rises of Moulis-en-Médoc in the Médoc, Château Mauvesin Barton appears like a quiet chapter of a château novel, with roots traced back to 1457. The current neo–Louis XIII building dates from 1853, born in the era when Bordeaux learned to speak in architecture as well as wine.
Gravel, clay and limestone shape a classic blend: Cabernet Sauvignon for frame, Merlot for breadth, with supporting varieties adding nuance. In the cellar, lots are handled with a parcel-by-parcel mindset; extraction is kept measured, and élevage in French oak is tuned for tension and poise rather than sheer impact.
Since the Barton‑Sartorius family acquired the estate in 2011, renewal has been deliberate—vineyard work, equipment and precision. The result is a property that honours its past without turning into a museum, translating Moulis’ cool nights and sunlit afternoons into unmistakably modern clarity.Château Mauvesin Barton
