The estate
Founded in the 18th century but existing since the 16th century, the Château La Dominique is a Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé acquired in 1969 by Clément Fayat, a construction entrepreneur. Under the management of the Fayat family, the current owner, the château has been transformed with a complete vineyard restructuring and the creation of a contemporary red winery designed by Jean Nouvel, inaugurated in 2013.

The vineyards of Château La Dominique cover 26 hectares in production within the appellation Saint-Émilion. The vines, averaging 30 years old, are planted on a varied terroir composed of clay, clay-gravel soils and sandy clay.
