Opus One
From a bold California experiment came a modern benchmark: Opus One was created as the joint vision of Robert Mondavi and Baron Philippe de Rothschild. In Napa Valley’s Oakville, the project marries Bordeaux discipline with American precision, committed to producing just one flagship wine.
Vineyards and lots are handled like a grand-vin mosaic: Cabernet Sauvignon leads, supported by Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec. Selective hand harvest, meticulous lot separation and a tightly managed élevage in French oak build depth and longevity while keeping place in focus.
The result is a Napa Bordeaux blend with architectural balance—crafted for aging, defined by proportion rather than excess. Choosing Opus One means choosing a seamless bridge between California energy and Bordeaux heritage, rendered with modern clarity.Opus One
