Chateau La Dominique 2014│750ml

DESCRIPTION

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.

According to Chateau La Dominique, “The 2014 La Dominique reproduces the ripeness and concentration of the good vintages, along preserving a good freshness and a silky tannic structure”. The 2014 La Dominique is made of 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc the starring grape varietal of this vintage. The freshness and silky yet lingering tannin structure (conferring frankness to the wine) are the representation of the perfect ripeness of the Cabernet Franc. This is a serious Saint Emilion.
