Description

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 wineries, including Château Petrus. His love for Napa Valley remained, and in 1981 he discovered the historic Napanook Winery, which had provided grapes for some of Napa Valley's finest wines in the 1940's and 50's. The vineyards cover 50 hectares of vineyards, some of which are still planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc from 1880. These are the oldest vines in Napa County.

Dominus Estate

Dominus Estate In the late 1960s, while studying at the University of California, Christian Moueix, a respected winemaker from Bordeaux, fell in love with the Napa Valley and its wines. After graduating, he returned home to manage the family vineyards, including Château Petrus. His love for Napa Valley remained and in 1981 he discovered the historic Napanook Vineyard, which had provided the grapes for some of the best Napa Valley wines in the 1940s and 50s. He took it over together with his cousin, the oenologist Jean-Claude Berrout. The vineyards cover 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. The wines of the Dominus Estate are known today for their elegance, complexity and finesse. In addition to the world-famous “Dominus”, wines such as “Napanook” and “Othello” are produced, which are also highly regarded.
