About this product
La Dominique is a Grand Cru Classe growth of Saint-Émillion, leading the way in many fields of modernisation and innovation amongst the chateaux of Bordeaux. Owner Clement Fayat has spent decades on improving everything from vinification facilities, to drainage, to the cellars, to a bright red (and controversially visible from a distance) vat house completed in 2013. Benefitting (similarly to their famous neighbours, Ch. Cheval Blanc) from a proximity to Pomerol, La Dominique produces Merlot-led

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. Violet, blackberry, mocha aromas with graphite notes. Richly concentrated with saturated inky liquorice dark berry fruits, supple tannins and graphite notes. Finishes with a plume of mocha, cocoa. Fab. 96 points.
