Lilian and Michel Barton Sartorius acquired this property in August 2011, with daughter Mélanie installed as winemaker since 2013. They bring the same expertise and experience to bear here as at their Saint-Julien châteaux, Langoa- and Léoville-Barton, which have been in the Barton family for eight generations. In 2022, Merlot makes up 55% of the blend, Cabernet Sauvignon 36%, Cabernet Franc 9%, currently ageing in 1/3 new oak barrels. “It is quite a cool terroir at Mauvesin,” Lilian told us in April 2023. “There is a lot of clay in the vineyards which helped to retain precious water. And we have a number of natural springs, which help create a cooler microclimate.” This may explain the vibrant freshness and clarity of fruit of this 2022, which is the best Mauvesin we remember tasting young. Colour is deep ruby-purple, the nose being fragrant and ripe. Palate is full, with bright fruitiness, acidity and tannins in fine balance, and lovely length

€ 404,00 NO VAT (private collection)The 2020 Solaia is an infant. I expected a more exuberant wine, but the 2020 is built along more classic lines. Black cherry, plum, gravel, incense, smoke, pencil shavings and spice all open effortlessly. As always, Solaia is a Cabernet Sauvignon-based wine, but it is a Cabernet that is distinctly Italian, with plenty of Tuscan acid and structure driving through the mid-palate and into the finish. The 2020 is a terrific example of the recent stylistic shift at Antinori. In the past, richness and opulence are qualities of a vintage that would have been amplified in the vineyard and cellar. Today, the aim is to capture a more balanced expression of these kinds of vintages, and that very much comes through.

Antinori's 2021 Solaia is another wine that captures all of the potential I sensed when I tasted it some months ago. More than anything else, the 2021 is a fine example of the style Antinori favors these days, an approach that favors finesse more than opulence. Dark plum, mocha, licorice, chocolate, spice, lavender and menthol build effortlessly in the glass. Oak and tannin are impeccably balanced. The 2021 spent 18 months in wood, three months in once-used barrels during the malolactic fermentation and then 15 months in 100% new barrels for the rest of its aging.

€ 355,00 NO VAT (private collection)Add to cartThe 2020 Sassicaia is a bold, rapturous wine. Dark, fleshy and expansive on the palate, the 2020 offers up scents of blackberry jam, gravel, spice, new leather, licorice and crème de cassis. Potent tannins are nearly buried by the sheer intensity of the fruit. Sassicaia is never a huge wine, the 2020 does seem to have an extra dimension of textural intensity. It's an intensity that is hugely appealing. Estate Manager Carlo Paoli describes 2020 as a year with a long, rainy winter and a cold spring. "Temperatures warmed up in the middle of June," he explained. "July was very hot, but heat moderated in August. Even so, it was a year in which ripeness moved quickly, as opposed to 2021 when ripeness was more gradual. We picked the entire estate in 22 days instead of the 29-30 that is more typical." The 2020 spent 15-18 days on the skins, followed by 25 months in French oak, 50% new. Production is down about 30% because of selection in the vineyard.

€ 784,00 NO VAT (private collection)The 2020 Château Margaux has an ethereal bouquet, blossoming with each swirl to reveal scents of blackberry, ash, tobacco and touches of graphite. The palate is medium-bodied and utterly harmonious, with fine tannins, beautifully knitted oak and subtle touches of white pepper and graphite toward the finish. This is amongst the greatest wines of the 2020 vintage. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting.
