About this product

Benefitting (similarly to their famous neighbours, Ch. Cheval Blanc) from a proximity to Pomerol, La Dominique produces Merlot-led wines that combine vigour and elegance.

Aromas of stone, black cherries, dark berries, moss, forest floor and black olives. Full-bodied, super tight and focused with fantastically polished tannins. A long, long finish. First year with a dash of cabernet franc. Better in 2022

Deep colour. Expressive wine with lovely dark cherry, cedar aromas. Palate is well concentrated with dark cherry dark plum flavours, inky mid palate, savoury graphite notes and underlying roasted chestnut oak. Finishes cedary and long. Well made wine with lovely persistence and vinosity
