Château Domeyne
St. Estèphe Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot
St. Estèphe, Médoc, Bordeaux, France
2023 vintage. This is Château Domeyne, Saint-Estèphe, a 9 hectares estate neighbouring Calon Ségur, that was purchased in 2018 by Vincent Ginestet from Claire and Gonzague Lurton. 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon. Eric Boissenot consults. Dark transparent ruby red. Distinctively floral perfume, with blueberries and raspberries lurking in the background, and fresh rosemary impressions after 30 minutes. This could easily be mistaken for Margaux, maybe the Ginestets are a bit nostalgic after selling their Margaux estate Château Boston to Palmer. Also in the mouth, this is more about finesse than power, with subtle, juicy red fruit, fresh acidity and ripe tannins that kick in on the finish. There is harmony and length. Another gorgeous Bordeaux for less than 20 euros. Abv. 13%.

On the nose florals and cherry. On the palate dark fruits, earth, leather, spice and strong alcohol and medium tannins. As it opens up more French oak and vanilla become more prominent and linger on the finish nicely.
