THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Black cherries, licorice, and flowers work well here in the nose and on the palate. Fresh, lively, medium-bodied, and vibrant, the fruits are soft, sweet, and round, with juiciness and energy, with a refreshing touch of mint in the finish. This is the second vintage with Thomas Duclos as the consultant for the property. The wine blends 71% Merlot, 21% Cabernet Franc, and 4% Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink from 2028-2040."

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."

VINUM: "Feiner Duft nach Brombeeren und Kräutertee, dahinter rote Johannisbeere; zugänglicher Gaumen, leichtfüssig, elegant, das Holz ist gut verpackt, die Säure belebt, zeigt Ausgewogenheit, Finesse und eine schöne aromatische Länge. Den Jahrgang sehr gut interpretiert. Empfehlenswert."

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."
