{"title":"CHRISTIAN MOUEIX 🇺🇸","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the world of wine, few have the experience of Christian Moueix. With over fifty years of producing wines in Bordeaux’s Right Bank and thirty-eight in the Napa Valley, his record in both the old and new worlds has given him unrivaled insights.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSon of legendary Jean-Pierre Moueix, Christian was born in Libourne in 1946. After completing agricultural engineering studies in Paris and graduate studies in viticulture and enology at the University of California, Davis, he returned to France.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the age of twenty-four, he was given the responsibility of managing his family’s many chateaux, including Pétrus. A viticulturist at heart, he has worked in the vineyards to pursue each and every means to obtain the highest quality grapes. He experimented with organic farming in the 1970’s, exercised frost control by helicopters and installed new drainage systems in the vineyards. His most significant contribution has been the practice of crop-thinning which he pioneered in 1973, a method now adopted throughout the world’s vineyards. He managed Pétrus for over thirty-eight years and today he directs eight family chateaux including, in Pomerol, La Fleur-Pétrus, Trotanoy, Hosanna, and in Saint Emilion, Bélair-Monange. Since 1991 he has been the President of Ets. Jean-Pierre Moueix, a top Bordeaux wine merchant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIdentifying the singular expression of each chateau’s terroir, Christian’s viticultural and winemaking approach conveys their individual personality. His wines reflect elegance, complexity, and balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1983, Christian Moueix began producing Dominus from the historic Napanook vineyard in Yountville. In 2008, he acquired a 40-acre vineyard in Oakville from which he launched the first vintage of Ulysses in 2012.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs stewards of these terroirs, Christian and his teams are committed to creating optimum growing conditions in vibrant and sustainable ecosystems. In France, his vineyards have received the highest certification of HVE (Haute Valeur Environmentale 3) and in Napa Valley, Dominus Estate has the Organic Certification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChristian Moueix’s aim is to ensure the longevity of his vineyards in the Napa Valley and France and to produce wines of uncompromising quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"dominusestate-christianmoueix-napavalley-cabernetsauvignon-owc-2015","title":"Dominus Estate Christian Moueix Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2016","description":"\u003cp\u003eCabernet Sauvignon California Napa Valley\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EMP","offers":[{"title":"Cabernet Sauvignon \/ California \/ Napa Valley","offer_id":17370118586439,"sku":"636595115753","price":374.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0044\/2492\/5255\/products\/image_b852dad2-8f1c-4c37-afec-8b655349191f.png?v=1561573503"},{"product_id":"carpe-diem-napa-valley-cabernet-sauvignon-2016","title":"Carpe Diem Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2019","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"row\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"container-fluid\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"panel panel-default\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"panel-body\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tab-content\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"about-product\" class=\"tab-pane active hidden-print\" role=\"tabpanel\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-react-class=\"BuyerApp.Components.ToggleText\" data-react-props='{\"first\":\"\\u003cp\\u003eA refreshing and straightforward wine expressing its bountiful fruit with bright aromas of wild strawberries and soft tannins.\\u003c\/p\\u003e\",\"second\":\"\\u003cp\\u003eA refreshing and straightforward wine expressing its bountiful fruit with bright aromas of wild strawberries and soft tannins.\\u003c\/p\\u003e\"}' data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-reactid=\".1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-reactid=\".1.0\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA refreshing and straightforward wine expressing its bountiful fruit with bright aromas of wild strawberries and soft tannins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Cabernet, produced in Napa Valley and expertly crafted under the strict supervision of the Christian Moueix winemaking team, is a wine that embodies the essence of the appellation.
