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.

Emerging from under the Dassault umbrella of estates, the 2018 Château La Fleur (Dassault) reveals a dense purple hue as well as a beautiful nose of blackcurrants, cassis, toasted spices, flowers, and graphite. With some chocolaty oak, medium to full body, ripe, silky tannins, and a modern, pure, beautifully textured style, it's going to benefit from just short-term bottle age and keep for 10-15 years in cold cellars.

The 2018 La Fleur has come together nicely during élevage. Inky dark fruit, chocolate, licorice, sweet spice, espresso and new French oak power through as the 2018 opens with a bit of air. This heady, opulent Saint-Émilion has much to offer. Drink it over the next decade or so.
