Beautifully done, with a fresher yet nicely concentrated style, the 2024 Château Dassault offers ample darker berry fruits, integrated oak, crushed stone-like minerality, and violet-like nuances. Medium-bodied on the palate, it offers ripe tannins in a balanced, nicely focused style.

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.

Austere on the opening, juicy ripe yellow plum, flavoursome if slim with a wave of grilled oak, liqourice root, crayon and dried spice notes. Skilful construction. 28 hl/ha yield.

Pretty red cherries and berries with a floral lift. This is juicy, medium- to full-bodied and solid in structure. The firm, medium-long finish has lovely fruit at the end.
