Château la Dominique St Emilion Grand Cru Grand Cru Classé 2018
One of the few 2018s that is clearly better than the 2016, something that highlights the step up in quality that is happening at La Dominique at this point. Supple blackcurrant and raspberry fruits, careful extraction that keeps the tannic hold caressing rather than drying, and nuanced smoked earth and cocoa bean dusting. 3.6ph, 50hl/h yield. Foral edge, black cherry, beatifully lilting acidities. Julien Viaud consultant (also Laboratoire Rolland), Gwendeline Lucas director.
