Jane Anson: 92 Punkte
"Medium intensity ruby, good quality, carefully measured cedar and sandalwood smoke on the nose, not overpowering but adding depth through the mid-palate, which is not always the case in 2024. Acidity kicks up a little high on the finish, but there is real charm here, and chewy tannins on the finish that suggest this can soften further over ageing. Gwendeline Lucas director. Tasted twice. 3.56 pH. 50% new oak. Harvest 18 to 30 September. 31hl/ha" (04/2025)
Falstaff: 92 Punkte
"Dunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Zart nach Edelholz und schwarzen Beeren, tabakige Würze, kandierte Orangenzesten. Mittlerer Körper, schwarze Kirschen, frisch strukturiert, salzig-zitronig im Abgang, bleibt haften, zeigt Entwicklungspotenzial." - Peter Moser (04/2025)
Vinum: 93 Punkte
"Feinduftig, floral, verspielt im Duft, Kirsche, Pflaume, Gräser, Rosenblüten; gradlinig und ziemlich kompakt am Gaumen, geschliffene Tannine, viel Salinität, nicht opulent, vom Stil her der Leichtathlet, zeigt Rasse, Präzision und Frische, endet langanhaltend und rotfruchtig." (04/2025)
The Drinks Business: 92-94+ Punkte
"Quite distinctive aromatically, with quite a pronounced ferrous and saline note to the minerality when tasted both times. It’s quite meaty too. We almost have smoky bacon crisps, if you remember those. If you do, you should try them with dark berry and stone fruit – this vintage of La Dominique suggests they go very well together! Plush and quite luscious on the attack, above all when tasted alongside the other grands crus classés, this is very impressive texturally. Ample, plump, succulent and extremely juicy on the refreshing vintage, this is a great success." - Colin Hay (04/2025)
