18 Rene Gabriel
85 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 13 % Cabernet Franc, 2 % Cabernet Sauvignon. Extrem dunkles Purpur mit lila und violetten Reflexen. Intensives, eng gegliedertes Fruchtbouquet, viel Kirschen und Johannisbeeren, ein zarter Hauch von Vanille im Hintergrund zeigend. Im Gaumen mit burgundischer Textur, dicht und schon fast berauschend, hoch aromatisch im Finish. 18/20 2022 – 2038
93 Robert Parker
Composed of 85% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc and 2% Cabernet Sauvignon and aged for 16 months in 60% new and 40% one-year-old barrels, the deep garnet-purple colored 2015 La Dominique is earthy on the nose with notions of red and black currants, blueberry compote, spice cake and potpourri. Full-bodied, rich and opulent with beautiful purity, it's soft and seductive in the mouth, finishing long and perfumed, displaying wonderful energy.

A toasty, fleshy style, with a broad swath of fig and blackberry paste flavors melded with dark ganache accents and a heavy tobacco note. A bit obvious in style, but this has range and length.—J.M.

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.
