Heiner Lobenberg om:
Chateau La Dominique Grand Cru Classe 2023

94–95
/100

88 procent Merlot, 12 procent Cabernet Franc. Alkoholindholdet er 14 volumenprocent. Ret fyldig næse med sort og rød frugt. God polering. Masser af blomme og surkirsebær i munden. Silkebløde tanniner, lidt rustikke på grund af ekstraktionen. Men alt i alt er det en rødfrugtet, elegant vin, som La Dominique ofte er. Heldigvis med en markant reduceret brug af træ. Passer godt, en fin vin uden at være rigtig stor. *** La Dominique er direkte nabo til Cheval Blanc og Jean Faure; vinmarken dækker godt 20 hektar på en jordbund af kalksten, grus og sandet ler. Ejeren af La Dominique, Clement Fayat, har ansat Michel Rolland til at hjælpe sig.

Jane Anson om: Chateau La Dominique Grand Cru Classe

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 om: Chateau La Dominique Grand Cru Classe

There’s freshness and brightness, with aromas of raspberries, orange peel, cedar and dried flowers. Medium-bodied with fine tannins and a crisp and crunchy finish. 88% merlot and 12% cabernet franc. Drinkable now, but better in three years.

Neal Martin om: Chateau La Dominique Grand Cru Classe

The 2023 La Dominique takes time to open on the nose, revealing blackberry, undergrowth, loamy and light bay leaf scents that unfold in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins. This is well balanced with crisp black fruit laced with black pepper, quite linear on the finish, more classical in style and all the better for it. This should age with grace in bottle and may warrant a higher score.

Jeff Leve om: Chateau La Dominique Grand Cru Classe

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.

Jeb Dunnuck om: Chateau La Dominique Grand Cru Classe

Red and black fruits, loamy earth, graphite, and floral nuances all emerge from the 2023 Château La Dominique, a solid effort from this terrific estate located in the northern portion of the appellation, not far from the Pomerol border. Medium-bodied on the palate, it has a supple, layered, elegant mouthfeel and is nicely balanced, with a great finish. It's a beautiful, classy La Dominique to drink over the coming two decades. Drink 2026-2046.

Galloni om: Chateau La Dominique Grand Cru Classe

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.
