    Producer

    Producer

    The Dominus Estate vineyard stretches across sun-drenched slopes, where the varied soils, composed of clay and limestone, encourage deep root development. This geological diversity results in exceptionally high-quality, sun-drenched grapes that retain a beautiful acidity. Napa Valley's Mediterranean climate, with its hot summers and mild winters, contributes to optimal grape ripening, allowing the wines to develop rich and complex aromas.

    Owner and history

    Currently managed by the Moueix family, Dominus Estate continues to uphold the legacy of Christian Moueix, who masterfully combined traditional winemaking techniques with modern methods. The family is deeply committed to sustainability and environmental preservation, striving to pass on this precious terroir to future generations. Their passion for winemaking and their respect for the vineyard result in wines of exceptional quality, which captivate wine lovers worldwide.

    Vinification and aging

    Winemaking at Dominus Estate is carried out with meticulous care. The grapes are harvested by hand and rigorously sorted. After fermentation in tanks, the wine is aged in French oak barrels, some of which are new, imparting a subtle touch of wood without masking the fruit expression. Aging lasts approximately 18 months, allowing the wine to refine and develop its aromatic complexity while harmoniously integrating the tannins.
