Founded in the mid-19th century by the Fourcaud family who are also responsible for setting up the now world-famous Chateau Cheval Blanc, Chateau Dassault was known as Chateau Couperie until 1955 when the estate was acquired by the visionary Marcel Dassault. Dassault transformed the fortunes of the estate, renovating the entire property and introducing modern winemaking techniques. Such was his influence that in 1969 Chateau Dassault was promoted to Grand Cru status.
Today the estate is still owned by the same family and has 24 hectares of prime Saint Emilion vineyards planted on top quality sandy limestone soils. The estate is planted with 75% Merlot, the signature grape of Saint Emilion, as well as 20% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. This is their Grand Vin which is vinified in large concrete vats and then aged in predominantly new French oak barrels for around 14 to 18 months, depending on the characteristics of each vintage.
The result is a strikingly elegant and refined Saint Emilion with punchy plum, cassis, blackberry and cigar box spice notes. On the palate there are firm tannins, a generous full body and a silky smooth texture that is so typical of Merlot-dominant Bordeaux wines. While ready to drink now alongside hearty red meat dishes, this wine has a long future ahead of it and can be kept in the cellar for at least another decade and a half.

Chateau Dassault Saint Emilion Grand Cru 2019
overall i had a positive experience, they have a wide range of wines, some which are hard to find anywhere else - the main reason i still buy from them, plus the discounts are fair and often, but... their codes for the first offer only works at the first offer, which if fine, but then why would you send me the voucher in each package i order, why spam me on the email and every time i log in on the website? this is really bothering me... then their rewards points system is useless, first of all because you only get peanuts even after spending €250 on an order, but even those peanuts will expire if you won't order again soon, which is unfair, to say the least... and lastly, if you get a corked wine, a wine with any deffect or a wine that leaked (my last order contained a bottle of $100 Caymus Cabernet with a leaking cork, which made the wine tasted cooked and flat), they have no procedure put in place for you to replace or return the wine or to get a refund or replacement - none, which is a big no no no for any wine collector... so all in all i give it 3 stars for now
