    Château La Dominique 2004 is an elegant, approachable wine from Saint-Émilion that showcases the harmony between fruit and structure, making it an excellent choice for both casual and more formal occasions.


    Château La Dominique 2004 is a red wine from the Saint-Émilion Grand Cru appellation on Bordeaux’s Right Bank. Château La Dominique has a long history and is known for producing elegant, Merlot-dominant wines that express the rich terroir of the region.

    The 2004 Château La Dominique is a blend that is typically Merlot-dominant, with smaller amounts of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon.

    Tasting Notes: Nose: Aromas of ripe red fruits like cherries, raspberries, and plums, with hints of blackberries, vanilla, spices, and a touch of earthy minerality. As it ages, it may also reveal subtle notes of leather, tobacco, and truffle.
    Palate: Medium-bodied with a refined structure. Expect flavors of dark cherries, blackcurrants, and plums, with undertones of cedar, spice, and a touch of chocolate. The tannins are smooth and well-integrated, providing balance and elegance.
    Finish: Medium to long finish with a soft, elegant structure. The wine often finishes with a touch of minerality and spice.
    Body: Medium to full-bodied, with a smooth, balanced mouthfeel.

    Aging Potential: The 2004 vintage was a classic Bordeaux year, and wines from this vintage tend to be approachable and drinkable earlier than some other years. The Château La Dominique 2004 has likely reached its peak but can still be enjoyed for several more years, depending on storage conditions.

    Food Pairing Suggestions:
    Grilled or roasted meats: Pair the wine with roast lamb, beef tenderloin, or pork tenderloin. The savory and rich flavors in these dishes complement the wine’s structure and complexity.
    Game: Dishes like roasted venison or duck are excellent companions for this wine due to their depth of flavor and richness.
    Mushroom dishes: Earthy dishes, like a wild mushroom risotto or a mushroom tart, will pair nicely with the wine’s subtle earthy tones.
    Cheese: Aged cheeses like Gruyère, Comté, or aged Cheddar can work beautifully with the smooth tannins and rich fruit profile of the wine.
    Hearty stews: Beef stew or lamb shanks braised with herbs and red wine can highlight the wine’s elegance and richness.
