USA / California / Napa Valley

In the late 1960s, while studying at the University of California, Christian Moueix fell in love with Napa Valley and its wines. After graduating, he returned home to manage the family's vineyards, including Château Petrus. His love for Napa Valley endured, and in 1981, he discovered the historic Napanook vineyard, which had supplied grapes for some of the finest Napa Valley wines in the 1940s and 50s. The vineyards comprise 50 hectares of vines, some of which are still planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc dating back to 1880. These are the oldest vines in Napa County.

Dominus Estate

In the late 1960s, while studying at the University of California, Christian Moueix, a respected winemaker from Bordeaux, fell in love with Napa Valley and its wines.

After his studies, he returned home to manage the family estates, including Château Pétrus. His love for Napa Valley remained, and in 1981 he discovered the historic Napanook vineyard, which in the 1940s and 1950s had supplied grapes for some of Napa Valley’s finest wines.

He took it over together with his cousin, oenologist Jean-Claude Berrout.

The vineyards cover 50 hectares, some of which are still planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc dating back to 1880. These are the oldest vines in Napa County.

Today, the wines of Dominus Estate are known for their elegance, complexity and finesse. Alongside the world-famous ‘Dominus’, wines such as ‘Napanook’ and ‘Othello’ are also produced and are likewise highly regarded.
