Dominus Estate

Where Bordeaux tradition meets Napa Valley terroir, Dominus Estate transforms the legendary Napanook Vineyard into one of California's most coveted Cabernet Sauvignon blends. This 134-acre sanctuary in Yountville represents the pinnacle of Franco-American winemaking excellence.

Founded by Christian Moueix of Pétrus fame, Dominus Estate embodies five decades of unwavering commitment to expressing Napa's unique character through Bordeaux methodology. Under winemaker Todd Mostero's guidance, the estate continues Moueix's vision of creating wines that honor both the historic vineyard's legacy and its potential for greatness. The property's gravelly, well-drained soils and warm climate create ideal conditions for Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot to achieve perfect ripeness while maintaining elegant structure.

The flagship Dominus wine represents investment-grade Napa Valley excellence, crafted from meticulously farmed estate fruit using traditional Bordeaux techniques adapted to California conditions. Napanook, the estate's second label, offers earlier accessibility while maintaining the property's signature sophistication. Both wines reflect the vineyard's exceptional terroir through minimal intervention winemaking, extended aging in French oak, and Todd Mostero's precise blending expertise. Critics consistently award these ultra-premium wines scores reflecting their status among Napa's finest collectibles.

The estate's striking Herzog & de Meuron-designed winery stands as an architectural masterpiece, its stone facade seamlessly integrating with the surrounding landscape. Private tastings occur by appointment only, offering intimate experiences within this modernist sanctuary. Guests explore the historic vineyard while discovering how sustainable farming practices preserve the land's integrity for future generations. The exclusive tasting program accommodates serious collectors and wine enthusiasts seeking deeper understanding of Dominus's winemaking philosophy.
