Description
Ideally located northwest of Saint-Emilion, on the edge of the Pomerol appellation, the 29 hectares of Château La Dominique, owned by the Fayat family since 1969, are distinguished by a remarkable terroir, whose excellent plots border the most famous vineyards of the region - Cheval Blanc, Figeac, La Conseillante, L'Evangile.
The Château La Dominique Saint-Émilion Grand Cru (Grand Cru Classé) 2022 is an eye-opener. The wine is a blend of 88% Merlot - 11% Cabernet Franc and 1% Cabernet Sauvignon. The grapes are harvested by hand in small crates and vinified in temperature-controlled conical barrels. The wine matures for 14 months in barrels (50% new, 40% used) and 10% in eggs, amphorae or globes.
Tasting Note: Red fruit, pomegranate, cinnamon, menthol and rose petals all open effortlessly, but it's the sheer textural resonance of the wine that makes the biggest impression.

A rich, heady wine, the 2022 La Dominique offers up aromas of sweet cherries, baked berries and plum liqueur mingled with notions of licorice and melted asphalt. Medium to full-bodied, broad and fleshy, with a rich core of sweet, somewhat jammy fruit but reasonably lively underlying acids, it's framed by plenty of powdery tannin. I had entertained higher hopes for La Dominique this year, but perhaps the pace of ripening was just too rapid for the estate's technical team.

Lovely fruit here with black berry, redcurrants and tile aromas and flavors. Medium- to full-bodied, very well integrated tannins and a lightly chewy finish, showing the potential of the vintage.

The 2022 La Dominique is gorgeous, elegant and gracious. Dark red/purplish fruit, mocha, lavender, spice and new leather abound. A wine of exquisite finesse, La Dominique is positively stellar in 2022. All the elements are so well balanced. I especially admire the wine's energy and class.

The 2022 La Dominique is stellar. Rich, deep and beautifully layered, the 2022 impresses with its fine balance. Succulent red/purplish fruit, lavender, spice, rose petal and mocha all take shape in the glass. All the elements come together beautifully in a polished, notable La Dominique. Tasted two times.

The 2022 La Dominique has a backward nose, not as immediate as its peers. Consequently affording it 10 minutes to open, it reveals blackberry, raspberry, oyster shell and briny scents. Quite cerebral. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, red fruit laced with graphite and smoke, classically-styled toward the finish. This is a Saint-Émilion that has refound its mojo in recent vintages and it will repay bottle age.
