Chateau La Dominique, Saint Emilion Grand Cru Classe 2020 - OWC of 12 bottles x 75cl

Blend of 91% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc, 2% Cabernet Sauvignon.

Located in the northwest of Saint-Émilion, at the edge of the Pomerol appellation, Château La Dominique’s 29-hectare vineyard, owned by the Fayat family since 1969, benefits from a great terroir, whose plots adjoin the most famous vineyards of the region - Cheval Blanc, Figeac, La Conseillante, L'Evangile.

"Displaying an opaque purple-black color, the 2020 La Dominique needs a fair bit of swirling and coaxing to unlock enticing scents of crushed black cherries, black raspberries and ripe plums, plus beguiling nuances of violets, aniseed and cedar chest, with a waft of cardamom. The medium to full-bodied palate is tightly wound with loads of bright, crunchy red and black fruit layers, supported by finely grained tannins and plenty of freshness, finishing long with a gorgeous array of energetic mineral sparks. A property on the upward swing, this delicately crafted, beautifully restrained expression of the vintage comes highly recommended."
