Chateau La Dominique 2010

75cl / 14.5%

“Polished and rich nose with dark deep fruit and dense minerality.

Wonderful pure ripe fruit on the palate with a long layered texture and super velvety tannins.

So good to drink already now, but tannins will soften over the next four years”

History of Château La Dominique

Château La Dominique is an estate in Saint-Émilion known for its Merlot-based red wine. It was rated Grand Cru Classé in the official 1955 classification of Saint-Émilion.

Located close to the Pomerol border, the vineyard covers approximately 30 hectares (75 acres). The majority of plantings are Merlot with small amounts of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon and an addition of Malbec in 2019. Here, a gentle slope and sandy gravel soils with slighlty more clay than its neighbor Cheval Blanc create the terroir.

In the winery, movement of juice and wine is done gently, powered by gravity to aid the preservation of phenolics. Grapes undergo 12-24 hours of cold maceration, and then vinification takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. The grand vin is then aged oak barrels, a majority of which are new for 18 months.

Records for La Dominique date back to 1690, although it was first mentioned as a wine estate with its current name in 1785. The name is derived from Dominica in the Caribbean where the owner made his fortune.
