Heiner Lobenberg über:
Chateau La Dominique Grand Cru Classe 2023

94–95
/100

Lobenberg: 88 Prozent Merlot, 12 Prozent Cabernet Franc. Der Alkoholgehalt liegt bei 14 Volumenprozent. Recht üppig Nase mit schwarzer und roter Frucht. Guter Schliff. Viel Zwetschge und Sauerkirsche im Mund. Seidiges Tannin, etwas rustikal aus der Extraktion kommend. Aber in Summe schon tendenziell ein rotfruchtiger, eleganter Wein, wie La Dominique häufig ist. Mit zum Glück deutlich reduziertem Holzeinsatz. Passt gut, ein feiner Wein, ohne wirklich groß zu sein. *** La Dominique ist der direkte Nachbar von Cheval Blanc und Jean Faure, auf einem Boden aus Kalkstein, Kies und sandigem Lehm befinden sich die gut 20 Hektar Rebfläche des Weinguts. Der Besitzer von La Dominique, Clement Fayat, hat Michel Rolland zu seiner Unterstützung engagiert.

Jane Anson über: Chateau La Dominique Grand Cru Classe

-- Jane Anson: Sleek ruby red, well judged extraction and use of oak, this is a great quality La Dominique, continuing a run of enjoyable vintages at this property under the team of Gwendeline Lucas and winemaker Yann Monties. Plenty of estate and appellation signature, sweet damson, black cherry, pomegranate and stone fruits, campfire smoke, clove spice and juicy lift, with a lingering, mouthwatering finish. Julien Viaud consultant. Tasted twice. 49hl/h yield. Harvest September 6 to 28, subdividing plots, including leaving the beginning and the ends of the rows for later harvesting. Aged in a mix of amphoras, wine globes, concrete eggs, 50% new oak.

Suckling über: Chateau La Dominique Grand Cru Classe

-- Suckling: This is linear and very fine-tannined with a crunchy undertone and a lovely medium to full body. Pretty, ripe fruit at the end, but always fresh. Racy and refined with structure.

Jeff Leve über: Chateau La Dominique Grand Cru Classe

-- Jeff Leve: Elegant is the keyword here. The wine is medium-bodied, edgy, and fresh, with soft, and silky tannins. The fruits are bight, crisp, and clean, with touches of mint, licorice, spice and tobacco in the mid-palate. The finish focuses you on the energetic raspberries, cherries, and plums, with their tobacco, mint, and spicy character. The wine blends 88% Merlot, with 12% Cabernet Franc, 14.1% ABV, 3.85 pH. The wine is aged in 50% new, French oak, and 10% amphora. Harvesting took place September 6 - October 3. Drink from 2026-2045. 93-95 Pts.

Weinwisser über: Chateau La Dominique Grand Cru Classe

-- Weinwisser: Verführerisches rot- und blaubeeriges Bouquet, frisches Himbeermark, Johannisbeernektar und betörendes Veilchenparfüm. Am komplexen Gaumen mit cremiger Textur, engmaschigem Tanningerüst, herrlicher Extraktfülle, geradlinigem Köper, dicht und präzise. Im konzentrierten langen Finale mit Schattenmorellensaft, Graphit und fein mehligem Extrakt. Sicherer Wert aus St. Émilion. 18/20 2030 – 2050

Falstaff über: Chateau La Dominique Grand Cru Classe

-- Falstaff: Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Feine Edelholznuancen, schwarze Kirschfrucht, Brombeeren, etwas Lakritze, Orangenzesten. Saftig und süß, elegante Textur, präsente, würzige Tannine, schokoladiger Nachhall, ein kraftvoller Speisenbegleiter mit Reifepotenzial.

Neal Martin über: Chateau La Dominique Grand Cru Classe

-- Neal Martin: The 2023 La Dominique has a well-defined bouquet: a mixture of red and black fruit, undergrowth and wilted rose petals. This is a much more refined example from the estate. The palate is medium-bodied with mocha-tinged fruit and moderate depth, quite old school in style with a touch of leather on the finish. It's fine, but I would like just a tad more vivacity by the time of bottling. A second bottle toward the end of my tastings showed better than the first.

Galloni über: Chateau La Dominique Grand Cru Classe

-- Galloni: The 2023 La Dominique is powerful, rich and deep, but without sacrificing aromatic presence. Hints of black cherry, spice, new leather and licorice unfurl in the glass, lending plenty of striking, even exotic, beauty. A successful vintage for this venerable Saint-Émilion.

Jeb Dunnuck über: Chateau La Dominique Grand Cru Classe

-- Jeb Dunnuck: The 2023 Château La Dominique is based largely on Merlot (there are small amounts of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon) from the northern portion of Saint-Emilion, just across from the Pomerol border. Its darker nose of red and black fruits, roasted herbs, sappy herbs, and graphite carries to a more medium-bodied Saint-Emilion with a compact, focused mouthfeel, beautiful mid-palate depth, building tannins, and a great finish. It's one of the more inward, serious 2023s and is going to benefit from 2-4 years of bottle age. The quality here continues to play up with the top wines in the appellation, and this is one of those insider wines readers should snatch up. Tasted multiple times.

La Dominique

Direkt neben Cheval Blanc in allerbester Lage auf einem Boden aus Kalkstein, Kies und sandigem Lehm befinden sich die gut 20 Hektar Rebfläche von La Dominique. Ein ausgefeiltes Wasserabzugsystem, das Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts installiert wurde, gewährleistet auch in nassen Jahren eine höhere...
