Château La Dominique

Driven by enthusiasm and the spirit of enterprise, in 1969 Clément Fayat acquired Château La Dominique, an estate offering a high class terroir, located on the western side of the Saint-Emilion appellation.

1976 is the year he fell for Clément-Pichon and its château whose architecture is so untypical of Gironde. There he recreated from scratch a 25 hectare Médoc-style vineyard.

In 1983, Clément Fayat arrived in the prestigious Pomerol appellation with the purchase of Prieurs de la Commanderie which was complemented in 2000 by the acquisition of La Commanderie de Mazeyres.

Quality is the key word of each of these projects. It is the keystone of each of these ventures. Quality is a permanent concern, a daily preoccupation. It is the standard that drives all our teams in their work:

Respect for the soil in order to bring out its potential at its best, disciplined and careful work in the vines throughout their life-cycle, greatest care for the grapes from their ripening until the crucial period of fermentation, and finally the closest attention that is paid during the ageing process and the bottling.

Each stage in winemaking sharpens their expertise.
