Tasting Notes

97
The Wine Independent Lisa Perrotti-Brown - 09 May 22
The 2018 Le Dome is composed of 80% Cabernet Franc and 20% Merlot. Deep purple-black in color, it needs considerable swirling to unlock notes of wild blueberries, black raspberries, and chocolate box with touches of rosehip tea, aniseed, and candied violets. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has beautiful freshness and very fine-grained tannins supporting the expressive blue and black fruit layers, finishing very long and fragrant.

Vinous Neal Martin - 21 Mar 21
The 2018 Le Dôme remains very tight and backward on the nose. Left to open for several hours, it manifests blackberry, briar and iris, then mint and menthol aromas join the chorus line. But it is all very tightly packed at the moment. The palate is medium-bodied with a ripe entry, quite plush and dense, touches of graphite infusing the black fruit and then finally opening up toward a more expressive finish. As I mentioned before, this is a Le Dôme that demands bottle age – several years, preferably.
Drinking Date: 2023 - 2040

Inside Bordeaux Jane Anson - 15 Jan 25
Back to a richer more solid expression of the wine after the lighter-styled 2017. Here you get plenty of opulence straight of the back, with velvet textured tannins, grilled cocoa bean, pot pourri, incense, dried rose petals, charcoal and kirsch. I struggled a little to find the freshness in this vintage, although the shot of mint leaf and eucalyptus on the finish suggests that it will reward longer in bottle. Neil Whyte winemaker, Jonathan Maltus owner. 80% new oak for ageing, malolactic in new oak.
Drinking Date: 2026 - 2042

Bordeaux

Red Bordeaux, globally renowned, is crafted in France’s Bordeaux region from grapes like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc. These full-bodied wines feature dark fruit flavours, earthy and spicy notes, and often benefit from ageing. Top producers include Château Margaux, Château Latour, and Château Lafite Rothschild. White Bordeaux, made from Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, offers styles from crisp to rich, with citrus and tropical notes. Sweet Bordeaux wines, like Sauternes, are famed for their rich sweetness and flavours of apricot and honey, with Château d’Yquem as a leading producer.
