produced in the heart of Napa Valley by Christian Moueix and his team. Since
1983, our goal has been to express the unique terroir found
at the historic Napanook Vineyard.
Dominus has become known since its first release for its
complexity and earthy character, which pay tribute to the
Napanook terroir. Christian Moueix truly believes that producing
a wine begins in the vineyard. For that reason, each vintage
is unique with different varietal blends reflecting the vineyard
and climate conditions of that particular year.
In the early years of Dominus (1983-1990), recognizing that
the wine was in its infancy and did not yet have its own identity,
a series of artists' portraits of Christian Moueix was commissioned
for the labels. By 1991, the wine had become well established
and a classic Bordeaux-style label replaced the artist series.
