Neal Martin
The 2015 Mauvesin Barton is a blend of 42% Merlot, 38% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot, the first vintage that Mélanie Barton-Sartorius was "on her own" to make the wine. It has a straightforward raspberry and wild strawberry-scented bouquet, a little more tertiary in style than its peers, but with good definition. The palate is medium-bodied with light tannin, perhaps somewhat rustic in style compared to its peers, with a savory finish that needs to develop more persistence on the finish. This is a fine Moulis, although I think there is better to come. 88-90 points
Steven Spurrier
Fresh, floral fruit: a light wine from young vines but showing lift and charm. 87 points
Jancis Robinson
Light, fresh and aromatic. Relatively light-bodied. Pretty and very round on the palate but then a little inky on the end. 16.5 points
