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.
