About Us
Dominus Estate, located in Napa Valley's Yountville appellation, was founded by renowned Bordeaux winemaker Christian Moueix in 1983. The estate encompasses the historic Napanook Vineyard, a site with viticultural roots dating back to 1836 when George C. Yount planted the region's first vines. Moueix, captivated by the vineyard's potential, became its sole owner in 1995, naming it "Dominus," Latin for "lord of the estate," to signify his dedication to the land.
Dominus Estate produces two Bordeaux-style blends: "Dominus" and "Napanook." The estate's minimalist winemaking philosophy emphasizes expressing the unique terroir, resulting in wines celebrated for their complexity and elegance. The winery itself, designed by Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron and completed in 1997, features an innovative gabion structure that harmonizes with the surrounding landscape while providing natural climate control.
