Château La Dominique is a St. Emilion Grand Cru Classe estate. The 54-acre estate is on the border of Pomerol close to Cheval Blanc. It was named by an 18th century merchant who made his fortune in trading in the West Indies and named the estate after his favorite island in the Caribbean. Since 1969 the estate has been owned by Clement Fayat who uses the services of celebrity consulting winemaker Michel Rolland. The estate grows 80% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. About 100,000 bottles are produced annually. The second wine is St. Paul de Dominique. Robert M. Parker calls La Dominique “richly colored, intense, super-ripe, opulent and full-bodied.”
