Description

The style of this vintage is perfectly suited to Léoville-Barton. Always the epitome of elegance and breed, the wine in 2010 embodies the classical proportions of the vintage with a lovely harmony between fruit, acidity, tannin and alcohol. It is certainly destined for a long life, so put it away for 15 years at least, by which time it will be extremely rewarding.
(77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22.5% Merlot, and 0.5% Cabernet Franc)
