Château Dompierre - Haut-Médoc - La Croix Dompierre 2018 - Magnum

Key words: Power / Generosity / For keeping 

The wine: This large format of La Croix Dompierre is a Haut-Médoc displaying nice maturity and complex aromatas like black fruits, spices (cloves, pepper) as well as an elegant oak. Marked by the power of Cabernet-Sauvignon, it is a wine however perfectly balanced by its suave touch of Merlot. It can be drunk now but is capable of improving over 10 to 15 years without problem. Its aromas will then evolve towards leather and humus and its tannins will be perfectly integrated. A treat to share!

The estate: With different plots within the Médoc, Haut appellations -Médoc and Pauillac but on the same stony gravel terroir, Michel Aroldi has been at the head of Château Dompierre since 2013. On just over 11 hectares, he takes great care of his vines, mainly Cabernet-Sauvignon. Very particular about the maturity and quality of the grapes harvested each year, the harvest is always carried out manually and the yeasts used in winemaking are indigenous. The wines also do not undergo filtration or fining in order to respect the juices produced as much as possible. Château Dompierre offers great wines of character and aging potential with beautiful aromatic depth. A treat for all Bordeaux lovers!
