There’s freshness and brightness, with aromas of raspberries, orange peel, cedar and dried flowers. Medium-bodied with fine tannins and a crisp and crunchy finish. 88% merlot and 12% cabernet franc. Drinkable now, but better in three years.

Varietal

Red Bordeaux

There are few regions in the world with stricter regulations in regards to wine production and grape varietals than those found in Bordeaux, France. Here, in the home of the world's finest wines, the type and quality of grapes used is of utmost importance, and the legendary wineries which work on the banks of the Gironde river have mastered the careful art of juice blending to find the perfect balance for their produce. Whilst there are six 'official' Bordeaux grapes, the two key varietals for almost every fine Bordeaux wine are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and with good reason. Whilst Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are renowned for their acidity and astringency, strong fruit and spice flavors and full body, Merlot grapes are notably rounded, soft, fleshy and lighter on tannin. The combination of these two varietals, along with a small percentage of (commonly) Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc, is the perfect balancing act â€“ the two grape varietals cancel out each others weaker points, and accentuate all that is good about the other.

The 2023 La Dominique is delicate and classy. Silky tannins grace this mid-weight, nuanced Saint-Émilion. All the elements are very nicely balanced. The 2023 is super classy. Floral overtones weave through the mid-palate and into the layered, beautifully persistent finish.

Jeb Dunnuck

Red and black fruits, loamy earth, graphite, and floral nuances all emerge from the 2023 Château La Dominique, a solid effort from this terrific estate located in the northern portion of the appellation, not far from the Pomerol border. Medium-bodied on the palate, it has a supple, layered, elegant mouthfeel and is nicely balanced, with a great finish. It's a beautiful, classy La Dominique to drink over the coming two decades. Drink 2026-2046.

Wine Spectator

Earth and singed cedar notes guide a core of lightly mulled plum and black cherry fruit, with tobacco and chestnut accents on the finish, which shows a slightly extracted edge. Should settle in with a touch of cellaring. Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2027 through 2035.

The Wine Independent

88-90 2023 La Dominique provides a nose of blackcurrants and spicy fruit. The taste is a bit one dimensional with a slightly bitter finish and notes of strawberries. It is a wine that will benefit from being enjoyed within 3-5 years.
