Saint-Émilion Grand Cru
FAMILLE FAYAT
Château La Dominique is superbly located in the northwest part of Saint-Emilion next to the Pomerol appellation and has been producing wine since the XVI century.
A STORY
In few words
Acquired by Clément Fayat in 1969, the estate has undergone continuous improvements ever since.
La Dominique has 29 hectares of vines grown on a remarkable terroir adjoining the region’s most famous vineyards: Cheval Blanc, Figeac, La Conseillante, and L’Évangile. The clay-gravel and clay-limestone soils give tension, finesse and minerality to the Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc grapes planted there.
The team work meticulously in the vineyard down to the final blend to produce generous wines with well-focussed, silky tannins in state-of-the-art facilities designed by Jean Nouvel. Inaugurated in 2014, the new building features a wine cellar and visitor reception area, and offers a magnificent view of the surrounding vineyards!
