Chateau La Dominque

Dominique has a long history in the region dating back to the early 18th century. The name comes from the first owner who made his fortune on the Caribbean island of the same name. In 1969 the domain was bought by the current owners, the Fayat family.

Clément Fayat was a rather remarkable figure who started his career as a bricklayer and from there grew to become one of the largest construction companies in the world. It took a while before he carried out modernizations, but gradually a new drainage system was installed and later a completely new basement was added. But it is especially since 2007, when the new wine consultant, Jean-Luc Thunevin, joined the team, that the biggest steps have been made in terms of quality and Dominique has settled at the top of Saint-Emilion.
