Technical Sheet |
In the midst of the high-octane, high tannin 2025 primeur tastings, Nicola, our Master of Wine, had a sneak preview of an oasis of freshness: a brand-new release from Lilian Barton’s personal property, Château Mauvesin Barton. Named Jardins, it is 100% Merlot made in deliberate contrast to a classic Claret style, with cool, gentle fermentation to extract all the fruit and none of the tannins. The result is a beautifully packaged deliciously soft, supple and utterly quaffable wine with just 12% alcohol.

Vibrant red, jewel-like, with a nose of juicy, peppery dark fruit, leafy and fresh, with an equally juicy, floral palate, soft, supple red fruits – redcurrant, rhubarb – with just a light tannic twist for freshness.
"This 100 per cent Merlot is designed for easy-going al fresco/picnic drinking, with maximum, juicy hedgerow fruit and minimum tannins. It’s utterly charming and could have been made especially with this moreish muffuletta in mind." Jonathan Ray, The Spectator - recommended to pair with chef Olivia Potts' muffuletta recipe.
“Burgundy bottle! Debut vintage of a 100% Merlot from the Barton family of St-Julien and this Moulis property. 49-year-old vines on sandy, stony soils give a wine designed to conform to the new, fresh, fruity ‘claret’ style. Two weeks’ maceration at 22 °C. Bright, light crimson with a pale rim. Juicy and soft. A world away from trad red bordeaux but why not? New styles are needed and I suggest any traditionalist try this.” Jancis Robinson 16.5/20
