Château DALEM Red 2020 bottle 75cl

bottle 75cl: 17,50 €bottle 75cl

Beautiful vineyard of 10 ha (90% Merlot) in Fronsac, where the owner, Mrs. Rullier, invests herself without counting. We find his energy in Dalem, with wines, full and assertive but also endowed with a real elegance.

Rated 93/100 by N. MARTIN «The 2020 Dalem, the first vintage under the consultancy of Eric Boissenot, has a tertiary, sous-bois infused bouquet with a mixture of red and black fruit, discrete at first but opening beautifully in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, citrus-fresh with impressive focus, gradually building towards the clean and precise finish. This is a top-notch Fronsac that will give pleasure for 20-25 years.» (December 2022)

    Rated 92/100 by Neal Martin « The 2017 Dalem is vinified without SO2 [...] It has a clean and precise bouquet with perfumed blackberry and freshly picked mint aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with fine grain tannins. One of the most elegant Dalem wines that I have tasted in recent years with a clean and precise finish that is top drawer. » (Feb. 2020)

    Rated 90/100 by Jean-Marc Quarin « La bouche brille de par son éclat aromatique, son caractère juteux, sa structure fondante, sa finale parfumée, sans aucune dureté tannique. C’est très bon. » (Oct. 2020)
