Information
Chateau La Dominique was mentioned in Saint-Émilion at the end of the 17th century and has belonged to the Fayat family since 1969. Clément Fayat has now stepped down in favor of his son Jean-Claude. Benefitting from an excellent terroir of gravelly limestone and clay, Château La Dominique stands not far from Cheval Blanc and produces wines of excellent quality, thanks to the rigorous care that is applied in the vineyard and during vinification. The chateau inaugurated a new red and spectacular cellar designed by the architect Jean Nouvel. Clément Fayat, owner of the chateau, has also created the gourmet restaurant La Terrasse Rouge, where you can eat between Petrus, Gospel, Angelus and Cheval Blanc on the roof of the new building.
To make this nectar, this grand cru classé Saint-Emilion favours manual harvesting, a plot-by-plot vinification, thirty-day maceration and malolactic fermentation mainly carried out in new barrels. The wine is then aged for between 15 to 18 months in barrels and, on tasting, unfurls exemplary richness and complexity. Roundness, evolved notes (woodiness and undergrowth) coat this wine with silky and well-integrated tannins.
