Ever wondered how a year can change the story in a bottle? 🍷Chateau Dassault Vertical Tasting: 2019 vs. 2020🍷 After my recent rave about the Chateau Dassault Saint Emilion Grand Cru Classe 2019, I dove into a mini vertical tasting, comparing it to the 2020 vintage. And oh, what a tale they tell together! A Bit of History:Chateau Dassault, underwent a renaissance after Marcel Dassault, known for his aeronautics legacy, took over in 1955. Originally Chateau Couperie, Dassault not only gave it his name but infused the estate with a spirit of innovation and a relentless quest for quality. Today, spanning 24 hectares, the vineyards thrive on a unique mix of sand and siliceous-limestone soils, predominantly planting Merlot, with Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon adding to the blend. This estate’s journey from tradition to technological evolution mirrors the complexity in every bottle. The Chateau Dassault Saint Emilion Grand Cru Classe 2020 brings its own character to the table. While the 2019 greeted us with open arms, the 2020 stands more reserved. Deep dark ruby in the glass, it unveils a bouquet of cassis, floral hints, black currants, licorice, blackberries, black cherries, earth, and a dash of spice. The palate is full and bold, with firm tannins, vibrant acidity, and a long-lasting finish.

Ever stumbled upon a wine that makes you fall in love at first sip? 🍷 Château Beauvillage, Cru Bourgeois Medoc 2015 🍷 I have been a fan of this delicious wine since I first tasted it back in 2021. The vineyards are located in a terroir of clay-limestone and gravel, with vines, averaging 35 years of age. The wine is a blend of 55% Merlot and 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, aged for 12 months in French oak. The 2015 vintage was a standout in Bordeaux, and Château Beauvillage is no exception. The wine opens with an enchanting, complex nose featuring a fusion of animalistic and earthy notes, a dash of old spice, blackcurrants, earth, and tobacco. On the palate, it’s a medium to full bodied experience with smooth, round, and silky tannins. The fruit is vibrant, yet it’s the emerging secondary notes that layer in complexity, all while being underpinned by graceful, balanced acidity. The finish is Supple, with a light dryness, culminating in an elegance that’s hard to forget. And the cherry on top is its exceptional value that makes it even more irresistible.
