Château
Domeyne
Located in the heart of the village, next to the famous Grand Cru Classé Château Calon-Ségur, the vineyard of Château Domeyne enjoys a privileged location and a typical Saint-Estèphe terroir, composed of deep gravel and tertiary clay on a terrace of limestone known as Saint-Estèphe.
On this terroir of choice, which earned Château Domeyne a Cru Bourgeois classification in 1932 and again in 2003, the vines are planted with 60% black Merlot and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon. This high percentage of Merlot gives the wine of Château Domeyne a smoothness and fruitiness that make it pleasant from its youth.
Since its purchase in 2018 by Vincent Ginestet, the property has expanded from 7 hectares to 9 hectares of vines in production through replanting of parcels. The vineyard is divided into about sixty parcels divided into 6 main blocks. The management of these parcels is conducted in a Burgundian approach as many climates that reflect the great diversity of terroirs. A native of the region and a great defender of nature, Vincent Ginestet takes the best possible care of the vineyard with the greatest respect for the environment.
After restoring the vineyard to reveal the best potential of each plot, the Ginestet family has announced major work that will begin after the 2021 harvest, including a new vat room and wine tourism buildings.
