An iconic cuvée, propelled by two major figures in global viticulture—Philippe de Rothschild of Bordeaux's Château Mouton-Rothschild and Californian Robert Mondavi—Opus One captivates the world. Created in the late 70s, this cuvée aimed to revolutionize the global hierarchy of fine wines by incorporating this Californian terroir, and it has certainly succeeded.

Following in the footsteps of its counterpart, Château Mouton-Rothschild, Opus One ignites passions and exerts a similar allure. On this Californian soil, cabernet sauvignon finds its most refined expression, and the Bordeaux expertise from the Grand Cru Classé of Pauillac elevates it to new heights. Opus One defies classification and comparison: its unparalleled style and aura set it apart as a unique wine.
