Château La Dominique, located near legends like Cheval Blanc and Figeac, has long been a reliable source of Right Bank richness and polish. Their 1995 vintage, from a classically styled year in Bordeaux, has gracefully evolved into a beautifully mature Saint-Émilion, showing the estate’s finesse and staying power.
Today, it offers a fully integrated, layered bouquet: dried cherries, truffle, worn leather, cedar, and subtle tobacco lift from the glass. The palate is medium-bodied and silky, with savory red fruits, earthy minerality, soft, resolved tannins, and a gently fading but elegant finish.
This is a mature Bordeaux for lovers of nuance over power—a contemplative, soulful wine that’s perfect for savoring slowly over a quiet, thoughtful evening.
Pair with: roasted duck, wild mushroom ragout, beef tenderloin, or an aged Comté or Gruyère.
