    In August 2011, The Barton Sartorius family acquired this historical wine producing estate and its Château that was re-baptized Château Mauvesin Barton.

    With the Barton family’s centuries of experience and unique expertise behind them, each of the four family members plays a specific role, perpetuating tradition and sharing their passion : Lilian Barton Sartorius takes on the management of the Château, Michel Sartorius takes care of the wine distribution, Mélanie Barton Sartorius becomes technical manager and Damien Barton Sartorius brings his expertise to the commercialisation of the wine.

    In The Cellar
    After the sorting out, the grapes are destemmed and poured in stainless steel vats equipped with a temperature controlled system. The extraction of the grape skin is "light" in order to keep as fruit as possible. Fermentation is followed by a long maceration (about 2 weeks) before running off. This decision is made by tastings. After pressing, all the wine goes into the oak wood barrels for 12 months.
