Estate
Chateau Mauvesin is one of three ‘Noble Residences’ which belonged to Jean de Foix Grailly in 1457. In 1853 Lodoïs Leblanc, the last Marquis de Mauvesin, commenced construction on the Chateau which survives today. In August 2011 the Viscount and Viscountess de Baritault du Carpia, descendants of the Marquis de Mauvesin, sold the estate to the BARTON-SARTORIUS family, winemakers for eight generations at Chateau Langoa and Chateau Leoville Barton (Saint Julien 2nd and 3rd Crus Classes respectively). The new owners are in the process of totally overhauling the production facilities, with major investments in the winery and the vat room. Renovation work began in the vineyards earlier this year, with the planting of over 6 hectares of new vines.
Soil
The soil here is partly clay-limestone, which is ideal for the Merlot grapes. Large plots of Meric gravel and sandy gravel allow the Cabernet Sauvignon to achieve exceptional maturity.
Tasting Notes
Color: deep red with flashes of ruby
Nose: delicious red fruit aromas (raspberry, redcurrant)
Palate: Bold, lively opening. Vibrant fruit with a touch of pepper. Fine tannic structure, nicely-rounded.
A well-balanced wine with a great sense of freshness in the finish.
