Opus One

The groundbreaking concept for Opus One was concocted by Mouton’s Baron Philippe de Rothschild and California winemaker Robert Mondavi in the mid 1970’s.

Mouton-Rothschild wine makers crafted Mondavi’s grapes into fantastic wine aging it in French oak barrels. Benchmark is offering you the opportunity to add this wonderful meeting of two cultures to your cellar.
