Chateau La Dominique Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Classe 2013
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.Browse our selection of great Bordeaux wines to taste or offer with our catalogue of Bordeaux Grands Crus Classés and wines in original wooden cases from the best estates and châteaux.
