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

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 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.

Neal Martin om: Chateau La Dominique Grand Cru Classe

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 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.

Jeb Dunnuck om: Chateau La Dominique Grand Cru Classe

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.
