Château La Dominique lies in a prime location in the northwest of Saint-Émilion, bordering the Pomerol appellation, creating wines that are distinguished by their magnificent terroir. The 2010 vintage is composed of 83% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc and 2% Cabernet Sauvignon, aged for 16 months in 60% new oak barrels. Notes of blackcurrants, black plums, liquorice and truffle, accompanied by sweet tannins.
93 Jancis Robinson
Deep garnet colored, the 2010 La Dominique is scented of pencil lead, menthol and leather with a core of black cherry compote, stewed plums and dried mulberries. Medium to full-bodied, it has a sturdy frame of firm, chewy tannins and lively acid supporting the muscular fruit, finishing on a lingering mineral note.Lisa Perrotti-Brown5th March 2020
90 Vinous
The 2010 La Dominique has a very pure bouquet with perfumed red cherries, crushed strawberry and rose petal aromas. The oak here is evident but well integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, a fine bead of acidity, lightly spiced but very well balanced with admirable composure and freshness towards the finish that displays cedar and white pepper notes. It just loses a bit of momentum in the glass. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners 10-Year On Bordeaux horizontal. Neal Martin1st April 2020
90 Jane Anson
The structure of 2010 allows the highly extracted fruit and oak a frame to build out around, and this has impact and character, but it struggles to really deliver a mouthwatering freshness. 50% new oak for ageing. Michel Rolland consultant, 37hl/h yield.Jane Anson10th October 2024
