The 2022 Le Dôme is 80% Cabernet Franc and 20% Merlot that comes from the Mazaret and Gaste Bourse lieux-dits. It has a vivid purple hue as well as a killer perfume of ripe blue fruits, cassis, sappy flowers, and darker chocolate. This carries to a full-bodied 2022 that has a layered, seamless mouthfeel, perfect overall balance, and fine-grained tannins, and it picks up a bloody, salty, mineral-like character on the finish. Beautifully done, it needs just 4-6 years of bottle age and will see its 30th birthday in fine form.

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.

James Suckling

A rich, concentrated and full-bodied St.-Emilion showing tons of blackberries, dark chocolate, hazelnuts, espresso and roasted spices. Dense with a deep core of black fruit and sweet spices that grow with the ultrafine, filigreed tannins. This is big but beautiful, all rendered in a plush, opulent and powerful way. Very long and potent. Lasting almost one minute. Cabernet franc dominates. Drink from 2028.

Decanter

Ripe and concentrated sun-kissed bramble fruit on the nose - heady and opulent aromatics. Richly juicy with a chewy, plush texture that is quite enjoyable. This is on the serious, fully charged spectrum - the 15.5% alcohol isn't totally noticeable but there is cleary strength and power on offer here yet it retains a stylish and finessed flavour and texture with a fresh and cool minty finish. A wine that really leans into the vintage giving confidence and a chiselled, muscular frame. A touch of tobacco, clove and liquorice appears on the end.

The Wine Independent

The flagship wine from Jonathan Maltus which in 2022 is 80% Cabernet Franc and 20% Merlot, and the élevage was in 80% new oak with 20% second-fill oak. Dark, brooding and seductive, with pomegranate molasses, with crushed chalk, mint and peony on the nose. A beautifully textured start to the palate, with black fruits to the fore, with blackcurrant, olive, tar and liquorice-coated berries, supported by a rich vein of tannins which gives it a huge grip, and a fresh vein of acidity. A massive, palate-filling, imposing example of Le Dôme, filled with notes of road tar, while the tannins grip the palate into the finish with no reprieve. A confident example of this cuvée which will need a decade or two to come around for my palate;I hope I can revisit this ten years from to see how it turns out. The alcohol on analysis is 15.2%, with 15.5% on the label.

Vinous Media

The 2022 Le Dôme has a more introspective bouquet with black cherries, briar and a touch of dark chocolate. Fine delineation, perhaps just closing down for a phase. The palate is medium-bodied with fine, quite edgy tannins. Structured, quite bold and grippy, there is a little dryness on the finish. Afford this three or four years in bottle. Tasted blind at the Southwold tasting in London.

Wine Spectator

This is well-steeped, with dark plum and blackberry compote notes that move through slowly, showing hints of smoldering tobacco, sous-bois and bittersweet cocoa. The muscular finish shows weight and polish but is a touch shy on definition in the end. For fans of the hefty style. Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2026 through 2036. 20,000 cases made, 5,000 cases imported.
