Description
Grand Cru Saint Emilion, the Chateau La Dominique is located on the northwest of the Saint-Emilion appellation, neighbour to the Chateau Cheval Blanc and Chateau Figeac. Bought in 1969 by Clément Fayat, today it combines authenticity and modernity thanks to renovations, including its contemporary winery designed by Jean Nouvel. The 2008 vintage is a blend of ssMerlot 86%, ssCabernet Franc 12% and ssCabernet Sauvignon 2%. It is adorned with a purple dress, dark and dense. The nose is fresh and delicious, taking us through a forest with aromas of humus, blackcurrant, black cherries, truffles, bark... On the palate, The Dominique 2008 demonstrated a beautiful volume and freshness. Tannins are soft, ripe and balanced, while the finish is silky and rich in delicious flavours.
