The D de Dassault 2019 exemplifies the pinnacle of French winemaking excellence. Crafted in the esteemed Bordeaux region, this exquisite wine benefits from a meticulously selected blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, harvested from the finest terroirs. Under the expert guidance of the Dassault family, renowned for their dedication to quality and tradition, the grapes undergo a precise fermentation process in stainless steel vats, followed by aging for 18 months in French oak barrels. This careful methodology imparts a harmonious balance of rich berry flavours, subtle tannins, and a lingering, elegant finish. The D de Dassault 2019 boasts a deep ruby hue, complemented by aromatic notes of blackcurrant, violet, and a hint of cedar. Ideal for pairing with fine cuisine or savoured on its own, this vintage is a testament to the producer’s unwavering commitment to sophistication and distinction in every bottle.

Red-ruby. Aromas ripe of plum, maple syrup, tobacco, hot stones and spicy oak. Soft but substantial, with easygoing flavors of moderate depth. Still some acidity to lose. Finishes with ripe tannins and good persistence.HK$2,860.00 -

The 2020 d'Agassac is plump, juicy and expressive. Red cherry, blood orange, iron and a whole range of Cabernet inflections meld together in this very pleasing, supple Cru Bourgeois. This is very nicely done.HK$1,415.00 -
(12x75cl) 2005Wine Advocate (93)
From the famous family of Comte de Neipperg, the 2005 D’Aiguilhe is sensational and may be one of the best cuvées I have ever tasted from Neipperg and his Côtes de Castillon estate. This wine has an opaque purple color and loads of Christmas fruitcake, licorice and crushed chalk along with plenty of blackcurrant and blackberry fruit. Full-bodied, rich, still structured and tannic, but super-concentrated, this is an amazing effort in 2005. Give it another several years of bottle age and drink it over the following 20 years.HK$4,495.00 -

Intense aromas of sliced mushrooms, blackberries and spices follow through to a full body, with sweet, ripe fruit, velvety tannins and a fresh clean finish. Tangy and fresh. Best ever from here and one of the values of the vintage. Best in 2016.HK$3,940.00 -

The 2010 Château D'Aiguilhe is beautiful, with a complex, nuanced nose of red and black fruits as well as truffly earth, leather, and savory flowers. Medium-bodied, lively, and beautifully balanced, it's drinking at point yet has another decade. Drink 2025-2035.HK$3,260.00 -

James Suckling (93)
Fascinating aromas of dark fruit, smoke and dried flowers. The palate is full and juicy yet still delivers a solid and polished tannin structure as well as a good backbone of acidity, which adds depth and definition. Solid wine. Great value for the quality. Better in 2020.HK$1,213.00 -

A blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc brought up in 30% new barrels, the 2017 Château d'Aiguilhe offers a gorgeous perfume of framboise, blueberries, strawberries, and flowers.

The 2019 d'Aiguilhe has a really lovely bouquet of ample black cherry, mulberry and light floral scents, very pure and delineated. The palate is medium-bodied with cedar-infused red fruit. While not as exuberant as the aromatics, this is nicely detailed and quite poised on the finish. No, I still cannot pronounce its name, but this Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux is well worth seeking out.HK$2,135.00 -

The 2020 d'Aiguilhe captures all of the exuberance of the vintage. Jammy and explosive, the 2020 offers up a heady mélange of raspberry preserves, mocha, spice and rose petal. This lush, extravagantly rich wine is a real beauty, but the style is definitely pushed in the direction of ripeness and textural intensity. Give the tannins a few years to soften.HK$1,945.00 -

The 2022 Château D'Aiguilhe brings more of everything, with a gorgeous nose of black raspberries, crushed stone, spring flowers, and violets that opens up beautifully with air. This carries to a medium to full-bodied effort delivering ripe, polished tannins, a seamless mouthfeel, and a great, great finish.HK$985.00 -
(12x75cl) 2005Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (88)
Pale yellow-gold color. Peach and apricot aromas carry through onto the dense palate, where they are joined by suave oak and a finishing element of candied citrus peel. Ripe acidity gives the wine a juicy quality in the middle, as well as a firm edge on the finish that calls for some patience.HK$5,615.00 -
Wine Advocate (89)
The 1996 d'Armailhac is fully mature on the nose with dark plum, briary, cloves and quite a strong violet aroma. The palate is slightly aggressive on the entry with chalky tannin. The acidity is quite pronounced here, firm in the mouth, masculine for d'Armailhac with less flesh than other vintages, although there is decent freshness and spiciness towards the finish. You could drink this now but I might just afford it another 3-4 years to show its mettle. Tasted July 2016.HK$10,920.00 -
(12x75cl) 2000Wine Spectator (90)
Juicy red. Plenty of tobacco, berry and currant character in this. Medium-bodied, with fine tannins and a long finish. Best after 2008. 15,415 cases made. -JSHK$10,395.00 -

The 2001 d’Armailhac is immediately more impressive on the nose compared to the 2000, offering darker and more vibrant, blacker fruit compared to the previous vintage. There is more fruit concentration and much more intensity. The medium-bodied palate features sappy black fruit laced with seaweed and orange peel. A lovely underlying saline edge lends tension toward the finish. This d’Armailhac is maturing beautifully and clearly has the upper hand over its millennial counterpart.HK$5,720.00 -

Bordeaux's relatively diverse weather, particularly its rainfall, means that vintage variation can be quite broad between some years. However advances in wine making techniques, technology and investment has meant that many chateaux are still able to create very good wines in "lesser vintages". From the best vintages wines are made that are clambered for all over the world and mature excellently for many years.
This is a selection of some of our favourite vintages from Bordeaux over the last few decades, as well some more recent ones.
