At the heart of the Saint-Émilion appellation, Château La Dominique stands out as a remarkable Grand Cru Classé, celebrated for both its rich heritage and bold contemporary approach. Acquired in 1969 by Clément Fayat, the estate underwent a major transformation led by renowned vintner Jean-Luc Thunevin. Today, its striking red winery—designed by famed architect Jean Nouvel—is a landmark of modern Bordeaux, offering panoramic vineyard views from its rooftop terrace.
Spanning 26 hectares, the vineyard thrives on clay and gravel soils, ideal for expressing the nuances of Bordeaux’s noble varietals. Merlot dominates the plantings, complemented by Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. With a strong commitment to sustainability, the estate promotes biodiversity and respects natural vineyard cycles, ensuring optimal grape quality with minimal intervention.
Traditional vinification methods—temperature-controlled stainless-steel fermentation followed by barrel aging in French oak—highlight the estate’s dedication to finesse and precision. Each vintage reflects the spirit of the land and the care invested at every stage of production.
Château La Dominique wines exhibit deep ruby hues and complex aromas of black cherry, plum, spice, and subtle oak. On the palate, they are round and velvety, structured by fine tannins and a persistent, balanced finish. These wines pair beautifully with red meats, game, hearty sauces, and aged cheeses.
Whether enjoyed young for their vibrancy or aged in the cellar for greater depth, these wines promise a memorable tasting experience. With an aging potential of up to two decades, they are ideal for collectors and connoisseurs alike.
Château La Dominique exemplifies the best of Saint-Émilion—a bold, expressive Grand Cru Classé available on 12bouteilles for those seeking excellence in every glass.
