Chateau La Dominique Relais de la Dominique Saint-Emilion Grand Cru 2015

92 Points - Tim Atkin, MW. The Relais de la Dominique is the second wine of Chateau La Dominique Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Classe and neighbour of the mighty Cheval Blanc. The Relais de la Dominique 2015 proves the value of second wines in great vintages - a second wine that scores 92 from Tim Atkin MW is worth seeking out. Now mature, its bouquet is a fascinating mix of cherries, flowers, mint, earth and spices. On the palate, it shares La Dominique's open, gentle style with its beauty and brilliance coming from its complexity. Plums, cherries, chocolate, star anise, blueberries and woodsmoke are all in evidence, making for a wonderfully satisfying solo sipper.

About the Producer

Château La Dominique is a Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé that’s never been shy about standing out. Perched next to Cheval Blanc and La Conseillante, it has the terroir to impress—and with the Fayat family at the helm since 1969, it’s been quietly sharpening its focus. Merlot leads the way, supported by Cabernet Franc and a dash of Cabernet Sauvignon, yielding wines that are ripe, sleek and polished. The striking red-and-mirrored winery designed by Jean Nouvel says it all: this is a château with one foot in tradition and the other confidently in the future.
