The Winery
Le Dôme
Le Dôme (St. Emilion) is owned by Jonathan Maltus of Château Teyssier and is a tiny 3.5 hectare single vineyard production with the predominant grape varieta being Cabernet Franc (75%) and the rest Merlot (25%). The vines are over 65 years old atop the sandy loam soil and the tiny production is made in a very deliberate manner which shows a world-class wine year after year. Because of the small production and high demand, these wines are hard to obtain, so if these wines are in-stock. Do not hesitate to stock up.
Tasting Notes
- WA94
- An opaque purple color is followed by notes of graphite, mulberries, blueberries and flowers. The 2008 is broad, savory and medium to full-bodied with sweet tannins, decent acidity, a textured, complex mouthfeel and no hard edges. It, too, should drink nicely for 10-15 years.
- WE94
- Smooth, perfumed and elegant, this Cabernet Franc-dominated wine has rounded tannins, layered acidity and a dark power of ripe tannins. It is both concentrated and fresh, a great combination.
