93-95 Medium to deep purple-black colored, the 2020 Dassault wafts out of the glass with a very pretty perfume of lilacs, cinnamon toast and fragrant earth over a core of plum preserves, Morello cherries and raspberry leaves, with a touch of fallen leaves. The medium to full-bodied palate has lots of grace and freshness, framed by very soft tannins, finishing long and earthy. Very clever styling and a beautiful expression of the vintage!

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.

The deep purple-hued 2020 Château Dassault is another remarkable 2020 Saint-Emilion that shines on all accounts. Gorgeous raspberries, blueberries, dried flowers, spicy wood, and orange blossom notes all emerge from this complex, elegant, medium to full-bodied effort, and it's balanced, has silky tannins, and a great finish. It's going to shine with just 2-3 years of bottle age, and I suspect have 15-20 years of overall longevity.

Aromas of ripe berries, cloves, anisette, chocolate and wet earth. Medium- to full-bodied. Showing depth and intensity, it has layers of fine, velvety tannins and a plush, dark fruit character. Lingering, chalky finish. Try after 2026.

The 2020 Dassault is packed with inky dark fruit, crème de cassis, blackberry jam, cloves, licorice and bittersweet chocolate. This sumptuous, flamboyant Saint-Émilion does not leave much to the imagination, but it will surely please fans of the style.

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2020 Dassault is a little sluggish and broody to start, offering glimpses of damp soil, black truffles, sauteed herbs, and tar notes before giving way to a core of plum preserves, blackberry pie, and fruitcake. The medium to full-bodied palate is earthy/savory with an undercurrent of black fruits and ripe, rounded tannins to support, finishing with a peppery lift.

Wine Spectator

This has the dark and modestly juicy feel of the vintage, with a mix of black currant and blackberry paste flavors dotted with light savory, cedar and tar notes. Turns slightly firm on the finish. Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. Best from 2024 through 2034. 3,000 cases made, 800 cases imported.
