CHATEAU LE DOME 2010

Château Le Dôme 2010
Saint-Émilion, Bordeaux, France

Produced by Château Le Dôme, Château Le Dôme is a cult Right Bank Bordeaux created by Jonathan Maltus. Known for its bold, modern style and exceptional concentration, Le Dôme is predominantly Cabernet Franc–based, delivering power, precision, and remarkable ageing potential. The 2010 vintage is widely regarded as one of the estate’s greatest releases.

Style

A powerful, modern Saint-Émilion with remarkable depth and polish. Rich and intense, yet impeccably balanced, combining Right Bank opulence with structure and finesse.

Tasting Notes

Appearance:
Deep, opaque ruby to near-black with garnet reflections.

Nose:
Intense and layered. Aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, blueberry, and dark cherry are interwoven with violet, graphite, crushed stone, cedar, cocoa, and subtle exotic spice.

Palate:
Full-bodied and densely structured. Concentrated flavours of cassis, black plum, and dark berries are supported by firm yet finely grained tannins and vibrant acidity. Notes of espresso, dark chocolate, licorice, and mineral undertones add complexity and depth.

Finish:
Exceptionally long, powerful, and refined, with lingering dark fruit, spice, and polished oak.
