2010 Château Léoville Barton, St Julien, Bordeaux Sustainable The intensity of the year77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22. 5% Merlot, and 0. 5% Cabernet Franc. The style of this vintage is perfectly suited to Loville 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 at least 15 years, which will be extremely rewarding. Berry Bros. & Rudd
