Château la Dominique St Emilion Grand Cru Grand Cru Classé 2019
If you don’t think that there is a human element to terroir, taste this wine against the 2010 – both excellent vintages but only this one lives up to the potential of the year. Layered and complexity, with blueberry, raspberry and cassis, alongside bracken, liqourice and tobacco leaf notes. Plenty of depth and grip to the tannins, and a mouthwatering finish. Julien Viaud consultant. Yann Monties, ex-Haut-Bailly, arrived as technical director for this vintage and together with director Gwendeline Lucas, began to make a host of small changes that have made a big difference. The 50th vintage of the Fayat family at La Dominique. 47hl/h yield, 50% new oak.
