Jeb Dunnuck Tasting Note

Clearly one of the all-time greats from this château (it actually reminds me a little of the 1990), the 2010 Château Léoville Barton reveals a still youthful ruby hue as well as a textbook Barton bouquet of pure dark currants, savory tobacco, saddle leather, graphite, and subtle spicy oak. It's beautifully concentrated, with a full-bodied, deep, layered mouthfeel, still present yet sweet, polished tannins, and a regal, focused style that is quintessential Léoville Barton. This brilliant, majestic wine should be sought out by wine lovers. It clearly offers pleasure today yet has probably not quite reached its prime drinking window. Give bottles another 4-5 years and enjoy over the following 30+. Bravo to the team at this terrific chateau.

About the Producer

About the Producer

Château Léoville Barton, a prestigious Second Grand Cru Classé of Saint-Julien, embodies Bordeaux elegance and tradition. Its history is that of a family, the Bartons, of Irish origin, who took root in the Médoc in the 19th century. Today, Lilian Barton Sartorius and her daughter Mélanie continue to promote this exceptional estate, with François Bréhant overseeing the quality of the wines. The Léoville Barton style is distinguished by its classic structure, balance, and ability to span the decades. The wines offer a complex aromatic palette, where dark fruits mingle with notes of spice and cedar. La Réserve de Léoville Barton, the estate's second wine, offers a more accessible approach to the property's style while maintaining its signature. It is remarkable that the family has managed to preserve the integrity of this great growth over time, without ever fragmenting it. Château Léoville Barton produces ample, dense wines of great finesse—wines for aging par excellence—that fully express the Saint-Julien terroir. The estate works notably with appellations such as Deuxièmes Crus, which consistently extend its signature.
