La Dominique

Reminder: knowing where one comes to know where you want to go…

Château La Dominique has been sold to Bordeaux wholesalers since Clément Fayat bought the property. I checked the history of Bordeaux wholesalers first tranche release price, to which 50 to 100% should be added to get to the consumer price depending on the distribution network:

1982 5.79 euro RP 93/WS 92
1985 9.15 euro RP 74/WS 83
1989 11.89 euro RP 93/WS 91
1990 12.96 euro RP 92/WS 88
1995 16.77 euro RP 89/WS 89
1998 24.85 euro RP 87/WS 90
2000 26.00 euro RP 91/WS 91
2005 21.00 euro RP 90/WS 89
2009 ? RP 92-94/WS 93-96

There are few wines with Parker notes superior to 92 which have already been released. It does not facilitate decision-making and does not minimize the risk of being wrong.
