Winemaker Notes
Very attractive, intense garnet red robe with a purplish crison meniscus. Powerful vinous bouquet with hints of black fruits, licorice and white peppercorn. After a fres, mild attack, the palate becomes dense and generous with tannins that are already nicely mellow - a sign of meticulous aging. A gorgeous, sexy wine.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
A classic hedonistic style of St.-Emilion from famous French aircraft manufacturers, this wine displays oodles of plum and red and black currant notes with sweet cherries and roasted herbs. Soft and racy, the velvety texture cascades over the palate. This is a vin de plaisir and proud of it. Drink it over the next 7-8 years.

Created in 1862 by Victor Beylot, Chateau Couperie was purchased in 1955 by Marcel Dassault, who renovated the estate as well as gave his name to it. Chateau Dassault has been a Grand Cru Classé since 1969. Laurent Dassault currently manages the estate with the same passion and pride as his grandfather.
Since 1995, he and Director Laurence Brun Vergriette have been striving for maximum quality: draining the vineyard, reducing yields, applying pesticide management and trimming the leaves on both sides of the vine. All of this contributes to growing perfectly ripe, healthy grapes. The vat room was fully renovated and grapes are carefully inspected twice on vibrating sorting tables. The grapes from each vineyard are fermented separately, making it possible to fine-tune the final blend.
