Eisele Vineyard is part of Artémis Domaines, a group of exceptional wine estates located in France and Napa Valley that also includes Chateau Latour, Château-Grillet, Domaine d’Eugénie, Chateau Siaurac, and Clos du Tart. Our vision, which began in 1993 with the acquisition of Chateau Latour, is to create a family of wines representing the pinnacle of winegrowing, not only in their respective regions, but in the context of the global world of wine. To this end, we seek out vineyards that are both remarkable and unique, sites that

historically and geographically are unlike any others on earth. Eisele Vineyard is one of these places, a vineyard that stands apart not only from its peers in Napa Valley, but from great estates elsewhere in the world. Having identified these precious properties, our role as stewards is to guide them to their greatest potential. With patience and respect, our goal is to allow each vineyard to speak the truth of its terroir through the wines it manifests.

Eisele Vineyard is one of the rare Napa Valley properties with a canon of single vineyard wines reaching back decades. When we first experienced the wines of Eisele, they resonated with us both personally and culturally. The character of the wine was undeniable, with a depth, elegance and longevity that emerges through successive seasons and vintages, regardless of ownership or winemaking. Terroir like this, as we have learned, is not controlled by humankind; it is the immutable product of geology directing how the vines interact with climate and soils. It is a humbling phenomenon, one to be treasured.

As caretakers of Eisele, our approach is to do everything in our power to let this vineyard speak its truth, to uncover and preserve its unique terroir. Building on the good work of our predecessors, we are privileged to bring the knowledge, technical expertise and experience gleaned from our other wine properties to our undertaking here. We also know that Eisele, and the Napa Valley, have much to teach us, for all places have their own language. Above all, we recognize that our stewardship of Eisele must be governed by and tailored to its needs. It is how we relate to the nuances of this place, our continuing dialogue with its complex geology and soils, that progresses Eisele’s grand tradition of producing singular wines that could be from no other place.
