Description

The 2018 Chateau La Dominique wine tasting more like a great Pomerol than a Saint-Emilion. This 2018 Chateau La Dominique is a knockout winner in this great vintage and should be snatched up by readers. It reveals a dense purple hue as well as gorgeous notes of crème de cassis, ripe black cherries, spring flowers, damp earth, and truffle. These carry to a full-bodied, sweetly fruited, sexy 2018 vintage with incredible purity, a solid spine of acidity (the pH is 3.65), ultra-fine tannins, a great finish.

Blending Merlot (85%), Cabernet Franc (12%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (3%), the Chateau La Dominique 2018 expresses the typicality of a Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé from a great Bordeaux vintage.
