James Suckling: "Polished and plush red with clove, dried lavender and dark-berry fruit. Full-bodied with firm, velvety and well-knit tannins. Lovely purity. Excellent length, too, with lingering spice notes. Lots to like. 80% cabernet franc and 20% merlot." (94-95)

Jeb Dunnuck: "The 2021 Le Dôme is just about all Cabernet Franc, and it shines in the vintage, which certainly could favor this variety depending on the terroir. Gorgeous cassis fruits, notes of tobacco, dark chocolate, and chalky minerality, medium to full body, and beautiful tannins all define this beauty. It should need just a few years of bottle age to round into form." (93-95)
