Description
The Beaulieu Vineyard (BV) Georges De Latour Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is made from mainly Cabernet Sauvignon with some Petit Verdot and Malbec. It is aged for 24 months in French oak (95% new barrels). The Georges de Latour Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon has a fragrant bouquet of ripe dark berries, grape compote, black cherry, orange peel and black plum, alongside savoury perfumed notes of wild violet. rose petals, fresh spearmint, bay leaf and earth. Warm baking spice notes from the influence of the French oak barrels add vanilla and caramel notes. Saturated dark fruit is present and voluminous on the palate, with a mouth-coating structure, with density and enveloping richness. Full and multi-layered secondary notes of bittersweet dark chocolate, savoury umami, leather, tobacco leaf and graphite add additional nuance and complexity. The characteristic “Rutherford Dust” tannins are pronounced, framing the wine and providing a firm grip, with a chewy, cocoa powdery texture. The palate is lively and fresh with a balanced acidity. Certainly to age for many years to come.

Composed of 97% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Petit Verdot, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Private Reserve Georges de Latour was aged for 22 months in French oak, 95% new. Deep garnet-purple colored, the nose is open and ready for business, featuring notions of redcurrant jelly, black raspberries, boysenberries and spice cake with touches of red roses, camphor, dark chocolate and new leather. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers bags of fragrant red and black fruit preserves, framed by plush tannins and oodles of freshness, finishing long and perfumed. This is a very pretty expression of this vintage, which is drinking beautifully now and yet should cellar for a good 20 years or more. 6,974 cases were made.

From: Napa Valley’s Thrilling 2018s & 2019s, Parts 1 & 2 (Jan 2021)
The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Georges de Latour Private Reserve is fabulous. Inky, rich and explosive, the 2018 is a fine addition to the lineage of one of Napa Valley's most historic wines. Inky red fruit, chocolate, leather and licorice all open in the glass. Aeration brings out floral top notes, raspberry and a hint of blood orange. There is plenty of depth, but the tannins are finer than they were a few years ago. Shorter time on the skins and a reduction in barrel fermentations really allow the pedigree of these Rutherford sites to come through. The 2018 is sensational.

I was so impressed with the BV wines this year. Trevor Durling, just the fifth winemaker in BV’s long history, has brought a much-needed breath of fresh air to the estate. Not that the wines were bad before. They weren’t. But they were maybe just a bit formulaic. Staid. Not anymore. The 2018 Georges de Latour is the best young vintage of the flagship wine I have ever tasted, while the Rutherford Reserve will thrill readers who are on a more modest budget.

Cellar Selection - "Fascinating, fresh and ripe fruit flavors fill this full-bodied, velvety-textured wine with blackberries, raspberries and cranberries. Subtle oak spices add interest from the aroma through the finish. Decant this time-tested wine if drinking soon. Best from 2027–2040.” - Jim Gordon, Wine Enthusiast

The adventure of the Beaulieu Vineyard winery begins in 1900 when Georges de Latour and his wife bought 1.6 hectares of land in Rutherford. In 1940 they could expect the first vintage. It has since become one of the most historic wineries with Grand Cru status in Napa Valley. The quality is high and there is also a lot of innovation within the winery.
Legend has it that Fernande pronounced 'Quel beau lieu' when she first saw the country. Literally translated, this means 'what a beautiful place' and Beaulieu Vineyard derives its name from this. De Latour became known for importing Phylloxera-resistant vine rootstocks from Europe to rebuild California's recently devastated fledgling wine industry. After Prohibition, when most wineries were forced to close, Beaulieu Vineyard increased its business by selling sacramental wine to the Catholic Church. church. After the repeal of Prohibition in 1933, De Latour devoted himself entirely to research and innovation to bring out the best expression of Rutherford Estate in the form of wine and he named it the Private Reserve which at the time was the private wine of the Latour family used to be.
In 1940, Beaulieu Vineyard released Private Reserve's first vintage and named it "Georges de Latour Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon," a wine destined to become Napa Valley's first "cult wine." Today, Beaulieu Vineyard is known as one of the most historic wineries with Grand Cru status in Napa Valley and sets the standard for quality and innovation in Napa Valley wine production. It holds a unique place in California winery history and holds one of the most collected American Cabernet Sauvignons in the world.
