In Portrait:

Château La Dominique

Château La Dominique lies on the border with Pomerol, surrounded by prestigious neighbours such as Cheval Blanc and La Conseillante. Its terroir of warm gravel, clay and iron-rich soils gives the wines depth, power and aromatic precision. Merlot dominates, complemented by Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, creating elegant, fruit-driven and harmoniously structured Saint-Émilion wines.

The modern cellar designed by Jean Nouvel is particularly distinctive and has made the estate an architectural icon. La Dominique combines traditional parcel work with contemporary vinification and produces dense yet finesse-driven crus with excellent ageing potential.

Bordeaux

Origin in Focus

Bordeaux

Bordeaux is one of the world’s most renowned wine regions – a name that has stood for elegance, diversity and ageing potential for centuries. Gravel, clay and limestone soils alternate, allowing fine nuances in the wines that reflect both terroir and craftsmanship.

Bordeaux is typically known for blends in which grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc work together harmoniously.

Stylistically, red Bordeaux wines are defined by a balance of fruit, structure and freshness. The white wines – usually made from Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon and sometimes Muscadelle – range from crisp and citrus-driven to creamy and complex.
