18 Rene Gabriel
Mittleres Rubin-Granat. Fettes, sanft kompottiges Bouquet, frisch gekochte Waldhimbeeren, mit nussigem, röstigem Ton unterlegt. Im Gaumen füllig, sehr geschmeidig, weiche Textur die von reifen Tanninen begleitet wird, Kokosfinish. Ein toller la Dominique der ein absolut faszinierendes Fruchtbild in sich trägt. vorbei

This is one of the sexy 2005s, a rarity given this slow-evolving vintage that is evolving more like a glacier. Dense ruby/purple, with sweet cassis fruit, black cherries, fruitcake and cedar, this full-bodied wine has a luscious texture. This is a big La Dominique from proprietor Clément Fayat. It can be drunk now, or cellared for another 10-15 years.

Displays coffee and prune on the nose. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a long finish of chocolate, berry and vanilla. Needs a little more on the finish to be outstanding. Best after 2012. ?JS

Château La Dominique
Located in the western part of Saint-Émilion, bordering the Pomerol appellation, Château La Dominique takes its name from the Caribbean island where the first owner made his fortune. The vineyard is surrounded by other illustrious estates such as Château Cheval Blanc and Château-Figeac to the west, and Château La Conseillante and Château L'Évangile to the north. Clément Fayat came away utterly enchanted from a visit to La Dominique and eventually acquired the château in 1969. Consisting of deep gravel and sand, the superb terroir is planted with Merlot and Cabernet Franc vines. The combination of these grape varieties, accompanied by meticulous work in the vineyard and cellar, accounts for a wine whose balance and fruity exuberance impress even the most demanding of connoisseurs. An inveterate entrepreneur, Clément Fayat decided to initiate a particularly ambitious renovation program in 2010 (in conjunction with architect Jean Nouvel) to go along with the improvements being made to his wine. Today, the contemporary red winery is equipped with a large fermenting room, a welcoming reception area as well as a brilliant restaurant.
