Château La Dominique: A Modern Classic from Saint-Émilion

Château La Dominique, a revered Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé, is celebrated for its exceptional location, bordering the prestigious Pomerol appellation and neighbours like Château Cheval Blanc. The property combines deep-rooted tradition with a sleek, modern architectural identity, culminating in a wine that is both powerful and exquisitely refined.

Tasting Notes (Typical Vintage)

• Appearance: A brilliant, deep, and glossy ruby colour.
• Bouquet: Immediate ripeness on the nose, showcasing concentrated black fruits (damson, blackcurrant) with layers of integrated oak spice, undergrowth, and a subtle earthiness.
• Flavour Profile: The palate is caressing and full, delivering beautiful fruit tones and a seductive mouthfeel. It possesses a core of extract and vigour, with firm yet polished tannins. The wine maintains excellent freshness throughout, leading to a long, distinguished finish.

Food Match & Cellaring

This Claret is a superb food wine. Decant for two hours when young, and serve at a cool room temperature (16-18°C). Its structure and balance mean it will reward patient cellaring, reaching its peak maturity between 10 and 28 years after the vintage.
