Ulysses Napa Valley

Ulysses is a remarkable wine from the Napa Valley, known for its elegance, complexity and depth. It pays tribute to classic Bordeaux style, but with a unique Californian twist. This wine is produced by Christian Moueix, a pioneer in viticulture who is also known for his work with legendary Bordeaux châteaux such as Pétrus and Trotanoy.

Ulysses is made from grapes sourced from vineyards in the Oakville region of Napa Valley, an area known for its excellent terroir and optimal grape growing conditions. The vines are carefully cared for and sustainably grown to produce the highest quality fruit.

In the glass, Ulysses presents itself with a deep, ruby red color that announces the richness of the wine. The bouquet is seductive and complex, with aromas of ripe berries, cassis, dark cherries, and subtle hints of cedar, tobacco and earthy notes. The palate is pampered with a silky texture and full body, with ripe tannins that are beautifully integrated. The taste buds are enchanted by layers of blackcurrant, blackberry, plum, vanilla and a hint of spice, all perfectly balanced and with a long, lingering finish.

Ulysses is a wine that can already be enjoyed beautifully now, but also has the potential to mature beautifully and develop further over the years. It is an excellent choice for lovers of premium Napa Valley wines looking for an excellent expression of craftsmanship, finesse and character.

Ulysses Estate

Ulysses vineyard was acquired in 2008 by Christian Moueix. Situated along Napa Valley’s Oakville bench and extending over an alluvial fan at the foot of the Mayacamas Range, the site was once part of the famed Charles Hopper ranch and it is exceptional for winegrowing.

The soil is composed of deep, gravelly, clay loam and is particularly well-suited to growing Cabernet Sauvignon.

Since the acquisition, Christian Moueix and his team have pursued an in-depth understanding of the soil and microclimate and have undertaken a lengthy and meticulous vineyard restoration.

Dry farming, the foundation of Ulysses’ sustainable farming practices, enhances root depth and resistance to drought, resulting in a wine that is a pure expression of terroir.
