Bettane & Desseauve
Winery rated 1*Star (A high-quality, recommendable production that lives up to what one would expect from its appellation(s))
About the estate:
Now it is the very serious and enthusiastic Mélanie Barton-Sartorius who is applying her expertise as an oenologist, combined with her family’s long-standing winemaking tradition, to this estate purchased five years ago by her parents. The result speaks for itself. A wine with character, combining the exuberance of Moulis, the distinction of the terroir, and the balance achieved through skillful winemaking and grapes harvested at just the right moment. This is undoubtedly an estate to watch, one that has already made its mark in the appellation.
Guide Hachette des vins
Wine noted (guide 2022) 1*Star (Very successful wine)
Rated estate (2020 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer’s wines regularly receive awards from the guide)
About the wine:
This wine relies more on balance and elegance than on power. It reveals a lovely fruity and floral bouquet (peony), accented by a subtle hint of licorice, and a supple, fresh palate with refined tannins. Best enjoyed between 2023 and 2026.
About the estate:
Owned by a Neo-Louis XIII-style château built in 1853, this estate comprises a beautiful, contiguous 220-hectare property, 58 hectares of which are vineyards. In August 2011, the estate was purchased by Lilian and Michel Barton-Sartorius, whose family already owned the Lalande and Langoa châteaux in Saint-Julien.

About the wine:
Selected from among the 210 wines featured in the special "FOIRE AUX VINS 2021" edition: As the second wine of Château Mauvesin Barton, this cuvée has been carefully crafted and offers silky tannins with a subtle hint of oak on the finish. Excellent value for the price!
About the estate:
This estate, which had been struggling for a long time, has been given a new lease on life since its acquisition by the Barton family (Léoville Barton and Langoa Barton). It is run by Anthony’s granddaughter, Mélanie Sartorius. Today, the wines produced here reflect the velvety and smooth character of the family’s wines, which have been a resounding success. These are very approachable and highly recommended wines.
