Chateau Dassault 2024

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "The 2024 Dassault is a very strong effort, offering up aromas of sweet cherries, berries, plums and petals, followed by a medium-bodied, ample palate with good purity, depth and persistence. As readers may remember, there have been many changes at this address in the last couple of years: Thomas Duclos has come on board as consulting enologist, and the estate has acquired the vineyards of Petite Faurie de Souchard (not to be confused with nearby Petite Faurie de Soutard), which complements their existing clay terroirs with some of Saint-Émilion's limestone slopes."

FALSTAFF: "Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, dezente Randaufhellung. Zart nach Vanille und schwarzem Beerenkonfit, eingelegte Kirschen, etwas Feige. Mittlere Komplexität, Zwetschken, frisch strukturiert, mineralisch, rotbeerige Nuancen im Abgang, bietet unkompliziertes Trinkvergnügen."
