In 1862 Victor Beylot created the "Château Couperie" in Saint-Émilion. Purchased in 1955 by the aircraft manufacturer Marcel Dassault as a "communication tool" and a subsidiary of the Dassault Group, close to the Dassault sites in Mérignac and Martignas-sur-jalle, he renamed the Château after him. In 1969 Château Dassault obtained the Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Classé classification.

The Ferraton Ermitage Les Dionnieres Syrah 2019 is a bold and complex wine from the renowned Rhône Valley in France. The deep ruby color hints at the intensity of this vintage, while the aromas of dark berries, black pepper, and a touch of earthy herbs tantalize the senses. On the palate, this Syrah is full-bodied and rich, with layers of juicy blackberry, plum, and hints of smoky oak. Firm tannins and a long, lingering finish make this wine a true standout. The 2019 vintage from Ferraton Pere et Fils showcases their expertise in crafting exceptional wines from this region. This Ermitage Les Dionnieres Syrah is a must-try for any lover of Rhône Valley wines. Enjoy it now or cellar it for even greater complexity in the years to come.

E. Guigal, located in Ampuis, was founded in 1946 by Etienne Guigal. Since 1961 his son Marcel has led the estate, and his unparalleled work ethic and dedication to quality have brought attention to Côte-Rôtie and other appellations throughout the Rhone that were in danger of being lost, and lifted the Guigal wines to the pinnacle of the wine world. Hermitage is one of Frances most spectacular and famous appellations, producing small quantities of extraordinarily intense and age worthy red wine. 'The 2009 Hermitage possesses a dense purple color as well as lots of creme de cassis, camphor and acacia flowers. The Guigal family may be the modern worlds greatest testament to a family-run winery with impeccably high standards, integrity and an uncompromising vision of the future. They continue to push the envelope of quality to greater and greater heights.' 92-95 Points | Robert Parker.
