Dark and sumptuous in the glass, the 2020 is racy and wonderfully sleek right out of the gate. Dark cherry, gravel, spice, dried flowers and espresso lend shades of darkness to this deep, wonderfully plush La Dominique. Superb.”</em></p> <p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong><em>96/100 Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux</em></strong></span></p> <p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong><em>96/100 Tastingbook.com</em></strong></span></p> <p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong><em>95/100 Jeb Dunnuck</em></strong></span><em><br />“Coming from the northwest region of the appellation, not far from Cheval Blanc, and L'L' just across the road, the 2020 Château La Dominique is another round, supple, incredibly impressive wine from this estate, which has clearly been on an upward trajectory. A blend of 85% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Cabernet Sauvignon that spent 14 months in 50% new barrels (17% was in amphora), its deep ruby/purple hue is followed by a Pomerol-like array of cassis, darker cherries, chocolate, truffly earth, and spring flowers. With medium to full-bodied richness, a round, supple, sexy mouthfeel, and beautiful tannins, it's another remarkable effort that readers will love to have in the cellar. While it offers pleasure even today, it's going to benefit from just 3-5 years of bottle age and shine over the following 15+.”</em></p> <p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong><em>95-96/100 Bernard Burtschy</em></strong></span></p> <p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong><em>95-96/100 Terres de Vins</em></strong></span></p> <p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong><em>95/100 Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider</em></strong></span><em><br />“The perfume, with its white and red flowers, cherries, licorice, smoke, espresso and smoke is gorgeous. Medium-bodied, soft, silky and fresh, the wine provides layers of vibrant, sweet, clean, pure, red pit fruits, black plums, earth, roasted coffee, smoke and chocolate on the palate, which is perfect for its elegant stylings. </em><em>This is clearly a top vintage for La Dominique.</em><em>”</em></p> <p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong><em>95/100 WinesCritic.com</em></strong></span><em><br />“Strong and dark in the primary matrix showing notes of blackberries, black prunes, black tea leaves and sage. Full bodied, elegant tannins showing balance and well controlled tension.“</em></p> <p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong><em>95/100 Decanter</em></strong></span><em><br />"Another successful vintage for La Dominique, ruby colour with violet reflections, this has the measured delivery of succulent damson and black cherry fruit, clearly gong for a gourmet-feel with grilled butterscotch and cocoa beans. It totally works - has firm tannins, cooling blue fruits and freshness through the middle, no dip in the mid palate and waves of secondary aromatics. Serious, and a clear progression of the past few vintages."</em></p> <p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong><em>95/100 Alexandre MA</em></strong></span></p> <p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong><em>95/100 Vert de Vin</em></strong></span></p> <p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong><em>94-95/100 Bettane &amp; Desseauve</em></strong></span></p> <p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong><em>93-95/100 La Revue du Vin France</em></strong></span></p> <p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong><em>94+ Markus Del Monego MW</em></strong></span></p> <p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong><em>94/100 James Suckling</em></strong></span><em><br />"A very fine La Dominique with curated and polished tannins that spread across the palate. together with plenty of berry, slate, wet-earth and spice character.

Fine-grained."</em></p> <p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong><em>94/100 Andreas Larsson, Tasted </em></strong></span><em><br />"Fine intensity showing more fruit than wood, fine toast underneath, darker fruit with cassis, black cherry and overall high ripeness. Good volume and weight on the palate, polished texture, ripe tannin, well-balanced acidity and a long warm finish indicating a very fine potential.”</em></p> <p><strong><em><span style="color: #ff0000;">4,1 stjerner Vivino</span> </em></strong><em>(86 bedømmelser, 12-08-2024)</em></p> <h2><span style="font-size: 14px;"><strong>Om Château La Dominique</strong></span></h2> <p><em>Moderne. Højteknologisk. Fremtidens vindyrkningsmetoder.</em></p> <p><em>Chateau La Dominique er fremtidens svar på et Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé-slot. </em><em>Placeret mellem Pomerol og Saint-Émilion by, kan slottet dateres tilbage til det 17. århundrede, hvor det oprindeligt var kaldt Durieu, og hvor en ejerfamilie senere hen skiftede navnet til først Dominique og til sidst La Dominique.</em></p> <p><em>Da Clément Fayat overtog slottet i 1969, var der ikke meget tilbage af det slot, som grænser op til verdenskendte slotsmarker som Chateau Cheval Blanc og Chateau Figeac. Han valgte et par år senere at skrue gevaldigt op for kvalitetskontrollen. Færre vindruer pr. hektar blev høstet, maskinhøst stoppede og manuel håndsortering af hver enkel drueklase blev procedure. Dette sørger for, at kun de absolut bedste druer bliver brugt til at lave deres topvin. De laver en lige så spændende andenvin ved navn Relais de la Dominique.</em></p> <p><em>Slottet har 29 hektar, som er plantet i forlængelse af Pomerols ler- og grusplateau, hilket er ideelt til de sent modnende druetyper. En dybdegående jordbundsundersøgelse har øget tilstedeværelsen af Cabernet Franc, som giver spændstighed og friskhed. Højteknologiske og højpræcisions vinproduktionsmetoder bliver brugt til at fremhæve vinens potentiale og afsindigt spændende frugtniveau. Hvert år bliver alle vindyrkningsmetoder og -processer gennemgået og optimeret for altid at højne kvaliteten.</em></p> <p><em>Slottet, ligesom flere og flere slotte i Bordeaux, er også begyndt at slå over til økologi. De har 5 hektar, som er produceres økologisk på et eksperimentelt niveau med henblik på at lade denne del af produktionen vokse.</em></p> <p><em>Lagring af vinen foregår op til 16 måneder, hvoraf 60% kommer i nye fade og resten i genbrugte fade samt rustfrit stål. Druesammensætningen er på 81% Merlot, 16% Cabernet Franc.</em></p>
