The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine An iconic cuvée brought to life by two titans of global winemaking—Philippe de Rothschild of Bordeaux’s Château Mouton-Rothschild and Californian legend Robert Mondavi—Opus One captivates wine lovers around the world. Created in the late 1970s with the bold ambition of redefining the global hierarchy of fine wines by elevating a Californian terroir, it has undoubtedly succeeded.

Much like its Bordeaux counterpart, Château Mouton-Rothschild, Opus One inspires fervent admiration. Here, Cabernet Sauvignon finds its most refined expression on Californian soil, elevated by the Bordeaux expertise of Pauillac's Grand Cru Classé. Opus One belongs to no classification and invites no comparison—its unique style and unrivalled prestige set it in a class of its own.
Wine The 2019 Red Opus One is a wine of remarkable intensity and depth, showcasing layers of juicy cherry, blackberries, spices, and subtle balsamic undertones. Its powerful yet refined palate is defined by concentrated, jam-like fruit, a silky texture, and exceptional freshness. The seamless balance of richness, vibrant minerality, and velvety tannins creates an opulent yet effortlessly elegant profile. This vintage is a pinnacle in the estate's history—arguably the finest in the past decade—bringing together strength and finesse in perfect harmony. Rated 97-99/100 by Parker, it’s a truly outstanding achievement. Quantities are extremely limited, so don’t miss the chance to secure a bottle.
Vinification Hand harvested, fermented and macerated for 21 days, aged for 18 months in new French oak barrels.
