The Winery
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. In the winery, Château La Dominique undergoes 12-24 hours of cold maceration, and then vinification takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. The grand vin is then aged in mostly new oak barrels. The average yearly production is around 90,000 bottles, and the château also makes a second wine, Relais de La Dominique.
Summary
Château La Dominique 2009 is a prestigious Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé, located adjacent to renowned estates like Cheval Blanc. This wine is a blend primarily of Merlot, with smaller proportions of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, showcasing the rich terroir of gravel and clay soils. The 2009 vintage stands out for its warmth and excellent aging potential, enhanced by a maturation period of 12-15 months in new oak. The wine presents a deep ruby color and exhibits a complex profile with notes of cassis, tobacco, and dark fig, complemented by spices and a hint of licorice. Its robust structure and fleshy mouthfeel promise both immediate enjoyment and longevity in the cellar.
