Ch.Dassault 2000 750ml

Winespectator.com/Issue: Mar 31, 2003
Not big, but it's got length. Attractive aromas of crushed berries and vanilla follow through to a medium-bodied palate, with superfine tannins and a long, bright and fruity aftertaste. Best after 2006.

In 1955 aircraft designer and aeronautical entrepreneur Marcel Dassault fell in love for the second or third time in his life when he came across the Château Couperie vineyard, created in 1862 by Victor Beylot, on the hillside slopes of Saint-Emilion, France. Dassault subsequently bought and renovated the estate and gave his name to it as Château Dassault. His hard work was rewarded in 1969 when the estate was recognized as a Grand Cru Classé in the Saint-Emilion classification system. Today Marcel’s grandson Laurent Dassault is at the helm, and equally passionate about his ‘baby’.
