A nearly forty-year-old Saint-Émilion whose vines share borders with Cheval Blanc, Figeac, La Conseillante and L'Evangile, which tells you a lot about the ground it comes from. Château La Dominique sits in the north-west corner of the appellation, right on the edge of Pomerol. Its soils straddle both worlds: clay-gravel plateaux like Pomerol's in the north, and in the south the clay-limestone and famous blue clays typical of Saint-Émilion, where the Merlot and Cabernet Franc grow. The 1985 was made under the Fayat family, who have owned the estate since 1969. If you want to know what mature Right Bank Bordeaux is about, an aged bottle from a neighbourhood this good is a great way to find out, without paying what its famous neighbours ask.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Roast leg of lamb with rosemary and garlic; duck breast with a cherry or red-wine reduction; wild mushroom risotto or porcini on toast; roast squab; aged Comté or Mimolette.

Tasting Profile

Expect the classic profile of mature, Merlot-led Saint-Émilion: dried plum, cherry and fig giving way to cedar, tobacco, forest floor and truffle. With bottle age the style typically turns medium-bodied, with silky, softened tannins and fresh acidity holding it together. Think of an earthier, less plush Pomerol, finishing dry, savoury and gently lingering.
