Opus One was born from a handshake deal between Baron Philippe de Rothschild of Château Mouton Rothschild and Robert Mondavi in 1979 — the first major France-California collaboration. Produced from a 170-acre estate in Oakville, Napa Valley, it has sold for $350-$500 per bottle since its 1979 debut and helped legitimize California as a world-class wine region on the global stage.
