Called "Durieu" in the early 17th century, the property's name was changed to "Dominique" by Jacques and Isabeau Micheau in 1690. A subsequent owner, merchant Henri Greloud, added the definite article "La" in the mid-19th century. He is said to have done so because of his love for the Caribbean island of Dominica (or "La Dominique" in French). It was bought by the Fayat family in 1969.

This is the best Dominique I've tasted in many years. The nose is of tangy-fresh damson and black plum, the whole a touch smoky. In the mouth, this offers a very cool and seamless envelope of plum and damson fruit pinned together by ripe tannin. A chunky momma, long and intense. Sheer parallel profile. Fabulous! Bowes Wine original note
All our wines are given a Sweetness Indicator from 1 to 5, with 1 being the driest and 5 being the sweetest.
This can be found for every wine under the Wine Details tab.
Most red wines are dry and therefore are indicated with a 1. The sweetness becomes more relevant with white wines, sparkling wines and pudding/dessert wines such as Sauternes and Tokaji.
