Chateau La Dominique, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru, 2000
is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
Château La Dominique’s 2000 is everything you want from a well-aged Saint-Émilion Grand Cru: deep, savory, and silky, with two decades of bottle age bringing all the nuance. This wine comes from vineyards near Cheval Blanc, and you can feel that pedigree in its balance of power and elegance.
The 2000 vintage is legendary in Bordeaux—ripe, structured, and built to last—and La Dominique shows it off beautifully. The wine opens with plum, dried cherry, cedar, tobacco leaf, and warm earth, unfolding slowly into notes of leather, cocoa, and sweet spice. The tannins are fully resolved but still present, giving the wine a graceful structure and long, savory finish.
Made primarily from Merlot, with a touch of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, it was aged in French oak (with a generous but not overwhelming percentage of new barrels), then tucked away to become the classic, quietly luxurious Bordeaux it is today.
Drink it now with decanting, or hold for another 5–7 years. Perfect with roast lamb, aged cheeses, or a slow, thoughtful evening.
