Château La Dominique Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Classé

Chateau La Dominique Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Classe 2013

57.80 € Tax included

Château La Dominique 2013 is a great red wine from Bordeaux, in the Saint-Emilion and Grand Cru Classé appellations.

In the rather delicate 2013 vintage, the quality of the work in the vineyard and in the cellar allowed Château La Dominique to give a very beautiful Saint-Emilion wine, with aromas of ripe fruit with light notes of spices, truffle and liquorice. After a frank attack, the palate is round and fleshy, with silky tannins and a beautiful finish. It is a wine to be enjoyed today and that can be kept until 2028-2030

Find the wines of Château La Dominique with the grand vin and the second wine, Relais de La Dominique, at La Bouteille Dorée, a château that has gradually established itself as one of the references of the Saint-Emilion appellation.
