Le Dôme is a prestigious Saint-Émilion Grand Cru vineyard and winery located approximately two kilometres to the west of the town. The estate is under the ownership of Jonathan Maltus, a British entrepreneur of Nigerian origin. Previously, the wine was produced at his Château Teyssier estate, which is situated to the south of Saint-Émilion. This former `garage wine` is produced in limited quantities, and places a strong emphasis on Cabernet Franc, with Merlot as a complementary grape. The 2019 vintage was skilfully extracted, revealing a delightful layer of spices, accented by notes of saffron and cinnamon, intermingled with hints of bittersweet dark chocolate and an abundance of cassis.
The 2019 Le Dôme was the last vintage vinified in the old winery before Norman Foster’s "spaceship" landed (the new winery is spectacular). I admire the aromatics here; the Cabernet Franc feels unrestrained and very expressive, almost Loire-like in style. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, nicely detailed, maybe less ostentatious than previous vintages – and all the better for it. This is an excellent Le Dôme that should offer two decades of drinking pleasure. - Neil Martin
