Driven by enthusiasm and the spirit of enterprise in 1969 Clément Fayat acquired Chateau La Dominique an estate offering a high class terroir located on the western side of the Saint-Emilion appellation. Respect for the soil in order to bring out its potential at its best disciplined and careful work in the vines throughout their life-cycle greatest care for the grapes from their ripening until the crucial period of fermentation and finally the closest attention that is paid during the ageing process and the bottling. The winery has 23 hectares and the soils are 25% deep gravel 75% old sand mixes with gravel over a clay sub-layer. The vines average 30 years of age.
Description
With its deep and shiny color, Chateau La Dominique brings together the generosity of a Saint Emilion and the typicity of a Pomerol. The nose is intense, characterized by seducing aromas of ripe fruits and subtle spicy notes. In most vintages, you will find truffle and licorice notes, complemented by peppery and woody aromas. With a sharp attack, it is fleshy and round, with silky and precise tannins. The finish is long and full and leaves you with a pleasant feeling of bliss.
