Description

USA / California / Napa Valley

The Dominus winery, owned by the now legendary winemaker Christian Moueix, also the owner of Château Petrus, grows the typical Bordeaux grape varieties. The Othello is the entry-level wine at Dominus - but at an impressively high level. The cuvée of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot from the historic Napanook vineyard in Yountville is an expression of an exceptional terroir. And the Napanook vineyard is a model for sustainable landscape management. It is cultivated without irrigation, flowers between the rows of vines and birdhouses for owls and bluebirds provide a home for natural predators of vine pests and rodents.

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 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.
