Description

USA / California / Napa Valley

The typical Bordeaux grape varieties are grown on the Dominus winery of the now legendary winemaker Christian Moueix, who also owns Château Petrus. The Othello is the entry point at Dominus - albeit at an impressively high level. The blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot from the historic Napanook vineyard in Yountville is an expression of an extraordinary terroir. And the Napanook vineyard is a model for sustainable landscape management. It is farmed without irrigation, flowers between the rows of vines and aviary for owls and blue birds 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 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.
