Napanook
In California’s Napa Valley, near Yountville, a historic site carries a name from the region’s earliest days: Napanook. Vines were first planted here in 1838, and since 1983 Christian Moueix has shaped this land through Dominus Estate, crafting wines that translate the vineyard’s identity with restraint – including Napanook as its own, estate-grown expression.
Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot are rooted in gravelly and clay loam, farmed entirely dry to push roots deep and keep balance in the canopy. Winemaking follows the same discipline: rigorous selection, measured fermentations and élevage that favors purity over spectacle. The Herzog & de Meuron winery completed in 1997 underlines the philosophy—contemporary architecture anchored in place—while organic farming practices earned official CCOF certification in 2021.Napanook
