About this wine
Description & facts
Dominus Estate, owned by renowned winemaker and CEO Christian Moueix (also owner of Pétrus, Trotanoy, La Fleur-Petrus, Hosanna, among others), is part of the Historical Landmark Napanook and is widely recognized as one of the eldest eldest son (1836 ) of Napa Valley, California. The first Dominus wine appeared in 1983 and immediately gained international attention thanks to Moueix's influence. The domain covers 44 ha, divided into 14 parcels with mainly cabernet sauvignon (87%). However, there is also some petit verdot and cabernet franc. The merlot grape has not been used for the "Grand Vin" since 2002, but is still occasionally used in the Napanook wines.
