It is the right balance between tradition and progress that allows wine to develop without losing its spirit until it achieves excellence.

An estate in full expansion over the past five years. This is powerful, intense, rich, ripe and high in alcohol, but it has excellent balance, and the silky-soft tannins manage to accompany the smoked oak step by step. It needs time, but is elegant and well-extracted. For me, this is the truly accomplished modern face of St-�milion..January/2018

Blackberry and fresh herb character such as basil or oregano. Full to medium body, chewy tannins and a long, intense finish. A young red with focus and energy. Drink in 2021..February/2018

Vinous
  • v92

A rush of inky blue/purplish fruit, bittersweet chocolate, espresso, spice, lavender, licorice and menthol infuses the flamboyant 2015 Dassault. Racy and voluptuous on the palate, it exudes confidence from start to finish. There isn’t a lot of subtlety here, but the 2015 is super-delicious. The blend is 75% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon; the Cabernets add a bit more nuance than the wine showed en primeur..February/2018

The 2015 Chateau Dassault is a big, rich, unctuous beauty that offers tons of ripe, dark, chocolate-laced fruits as well as background notes of damp earth, licorice and bay leaf. While a big, full-bodied effort, it has terrific elegance, as well as ripe, polished tannin, plenty of freshness, a great mid-palate, and the class to evolve for two decades. Tasted three times..November/2017

The 2015 Dassault is medium to deep garnet-purple colored and scented of prunes, cherry cordial and blueberry pie with underlying mincemeat pie and Chinese five spice hints. The full-bodied palate is packed with berry preserves and dried fruits flavors with chewy tannins, finishing just a little firm.
