A powerful wine with a strong presence of new wood. The fruit is not too dense or sweet in comparison with some of the neighbours and this is polished and lifted. (NT 23/04/19)

Jane Anson
This wine doesn`t always get the balance right for me, but in 2018 La Dominique manages to convey power and intensity without a trace of overly sweet fruit or oak. It`s well balanced, elegant and fresh but with power, concentration and ageing potential. A hugely impressive effort, helped by a slight austerity to the tannins through the finish. The estate is located right next to Cheval Blanc and is currently in the middle of an ambitious replanting programme that will put the emphasis on Cabernet Franc. Michel Rolland consults.
