Château MAUVESIN BARTON 2011
The history of Chateau Mauvesin dates from the 15th Century and was demolished in 1852. The construction of the present chateau in 1853 on the site of the original chateau is thanks to Marquis Lodoïs Le Blanc de Mauvesin and his wife. The property covers 220 hectares all in one piece including 51 hectares of vineyards. The Viscount and Viscountess Alain de Baritault du Carpia, heirs of the family Le Blanc de Mauvesin, sold the property on the 4th August 2011 to Lilian and Michel Barton Sartorius. The Barton family has for eight generations been owners of the Crus Classés Langoa and Leoville Barton, situated in the appellation Saint Julien.
Mauvesin Barton 2011 is a blend of 46% Merlot, 36% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot with an ageing of 12 months in barrel.
