A blend of 73% Merlot, 22% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon that was brought up in 46% new French oak with the balance in foudre, concrete, and amphora, the 2023 Château Dassault is an incredibly pure, focused, elegant version of this cuvée, which in the past was made in a more powerful, well-oaked style. Red and black fruits, flowers, spicy wood, and hints of chocolate all shine on the nose, and it’s medium-bodied on the palate, with a pure, graceful, layered mouthfeel and ripe tannins. I love the overall balance as well as the overall level of finesse in this beauty, and it’s going to have 15+ years of prime drinking. Drink 2026-2041.

Varietal

Red Bordeaux

There are few regions in the world with stricter regulations in regards to wine production and grape varietals than those found in Bordeaux, France. Here, in the home of the world's finest wines, the type and quality of grapes used is of utmost importance, and the legendary wineries which work on the banks of the Gironde river have mastered the careful art of juice blending to find the perfect balance for their produce. Whilst there are six 'official' Bordeaux grapes, the two key varietals for almost every fine Bordeaux wine are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and with good reason. Whilst Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are renowned for their acidity and astringency, strong fruit and spice flavors and full body, Merlot grapes are notably rounded, soft, fleshy and lighter on tannin. The combination of these two varietals, along with a small percentage of (commonly) Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc, is the perfect balancing act â€“ the two grape varietals cancel out each others weaker points, and accentuate all that is good about the other.

91-93 2023 Dassault provides a fresh and high toned nose of redcurrants. The taste is complex, crunchy and elegant and holds many layers of perfectly ripe fruit ending in a fresh and well defined aftertaste. This is a well balanced wine that should provide fine drinking early on.

Gently mulled plum and black cherry fruit is infused with black tea and incense, with the supple texture adding sneaky length through the fine-grained finish. Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink now through 2036. 6,000 cases made, 300 cases imported.

Aromas of lightly baked fruit, dark plums, cherries and some dark spices. Medium- bodied with fine-grained tannins and a juicy finish. Tightly framed at the end. Good length in the finish. 73% merlot, 22% cabernet franc and 5% cabernet sauvignon. Try in one more year.

The 2023 Dassault is rich, dense and explosive. Inky fruit, lavender, licorice, mocha and espresso race out of the glass. This sumptuous, opulent Saint-Émilion turned out beautifully. I would prefer to drink it on the early side while the fruit remains vibrant.
