Château la Dominique St Emilion Grand Cru Grand Cru Classé 2022

Plump ruby red in colour, lovely welcoming brambled fruit on the nose, plenty of dark cocoa bean and espresso character, but met at every point by a mandarin peel and lime zest character that adds interest and freshness. This is good quality, has the exuberance and spice of the vintage for sure but well handled. Vinified in stainless steel, aged in 50% new oak barrels, 40% one year old barrels and 10% in eggs, amphoras and wine globes. 38hl/h yield, Fayat family owners.
