I get out the photos of some memorable visits.
One of the nice visits in 2007: field Dominus in Napa Valley.
The special field lies in the architecture of Chai, conducted by Herzog & de Meuron, the cream of architects, Pritzker prize 2001 and famous for their Olympic Stadium Bird's Nest in Beijing, or the Tate Modern London.
The person who told us we welcome it also receives many requests for visits from clubs architecture of wine lovers.
The building is a monolithic design, perfectly "rectangular" to be precise. It is constructed entirely of iron cage filled with local pebbles, which performs on building a stable climate, as well as some "breathing". What emerges is a strange feeling inside-out.
It seems that this area does not receive enough exceptionally visitors. The quiet atmosphere and the feeling of being privileged so we will change disneylandisées tours of the Napa Valley ...
Dominus Estate is owned by Christian Moueix, also owner of a small area of Libourne: Petrus ...
I confess I do not care a clear memory of the wines, and my tasting notes are buried ... I remember right wine, slightly austere Bordeaux very, very different and some Cabernets too ripe, too extracted or too wooded corner.
Where is it? It's here
Thanks Chrissa for the organization!
