Critic reviews
"The 2025 La Dominique is terrific. This is one of the best vintages of La Dominique I can remember tasting. Aromatic, silky and exceptionally polished, La Dominique impresses right out of the gate. Bracing saline notes extend the clean, reverberating finish. A sleeper."
Antonio Galloni, April 2026, Vinous.com
"Focused and curated, with very long, fine tannins that take the wine on a journey. Nicely ripe fruit with berry and light hazelnut undertones. This is going to an excellent wine in the bottle."
James Suckling, April 2026, JamesSuckling.com
"Delicious slate character, enjoyable pumice stone, depth and nuance here, great lift and floral character - rose buds and peony, cranberry and pomegranate, touch of blood orange, this has texture and interest and is measured. Definitely one to watch over ageing. Harvest September 8 to 20. 50% new oak, 15% in amphora. Gwendeline Lucas director."

"Another excellent vintage from this trusty estate. A cool crystalline nose, cola, liquorice, tar and blueberries. So clean and pure. Crisp and focused from the off, a cooling menthol and blackcurrant element, soft grippy tannins and the most beautiful juicy mid palate that just makes you smile. A happy wine. It’s powerful no doubt but in a restrained way without any heaviness. Vibrant and energetic. I love the focus, the freshness and relatively delicacy. Filing in the month but this is exceptional in terms of fruit purity. Very drinkable. A yield of 30hl/ha. 3.68pH."
