Bordeaux 2010 – AC Bordeaux and Côtes

See our complete guide to coverage of Bordeaux 2010.

The 73 wines in the collection of reviews below are more varied than any other of our selections of 2010 Bordeaux tasting notes. The most disappointing wines of the 600+ that I tasted are here, notably AC Bordeaux from presumably less-than-perfect terroirs whose fruit has been forced into an exaggerated caricature of a successful right-bank wine with the grapes picked too late, or the must manipulated, to emphasise the refreshing nature of the 2010 vintage.
