92-94 Aromas of sweet cherries, berries, petals and loamy soil introduce the 2021 La Dominique, a medium to full-bodied, velvety and seamless wine that’s attractively deep and complete, with ripe tannins, lively acids and a long, sapid finish. It’s a blend of 85% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc and 2% Cabernet Sauvignon from this estate in the ascendant.

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.

93-94 Blackberry, walnut and crushed-stone aromas follow through to a medium-bodied palate with medium, round tannins and a juicy, pretty finish. Polished and fine for the vintage.

Vinous Media

92-94 The 2021 La Dominique presents a focused nose of perfumed blackberry, raspberry, cedar and sous-bois scents with well-integrated oak. The well-balanced palate is fresh and crisp with fine-grained tannins. Silky-smooth leading into a very persistent, tensile finish. This continues La Dominique's upward trajectory. Excellent.

Cedary nose with aromas of fresh blackcurrant, cassis, lavender and oregano. Supple on the palate, with a persistent finish. (Silver) - DWWA 2025

91-93 Lots of red and black fruits, dried herbs, graphite, and a kiss of minerality emerge from the 2021 Château La Dominique, a downright pretty, elegant Saint-Emilion that comes from vines on the upper plateau, not far from the Pomerol border. Beautifully balanced, medium-bodied, and elegant on the palate, with quality tannins, it has lots of character and is going to drink brilliantly for 15+ years. This is an estate readers should have on their radar as the quality here continues to rise. Tasted twice.

The Wine Independent

A blend of 85% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Cabernet Sauvignon, La Dominique 2021 has a deep garnet-purple color. It jumps from the glass with exuberant notes of baked plums and blackberry pie, followed by suggestions of cedar, cloves, and black truffles. The medium-bodied palate is lightly chewy, with a good core of black fruits and an earthy finish.
