2022 Château La Dominique

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.
