Chateau La Dominique Saint-Emilion 2022
- TASTING NOTE: "The 2022 La Dominique is gorgeous, elegant and gracious. Dark red/purplish fruit, mocha, lavender, spice and new leather abound. A wine of exquisite finesse, La Dominique is positively stellar in 2022. All the elements are so well balanced. I especially admire the wine's energy and class. (Drink between 2027-2042)." 96 Points - Antonio Galloni, Vinous
- ABOUT THE WINE: The grapes are harvested by hand in small crates and vinified in temperature-controlled truncated cone-shaped vats. The wine is aged for 14 months in barrels (50% new, 40% one wine) and 10% in vegetable polymeric eggs, in amphoras and in wine globes.
