Napa’s Most Elegant Powerhouse
Beaulieu Vineyard has been a cornerstone of Napa Valley since 1900, and the Georges de Latour Private Reserve is its flagship wine. Grown in the renowned Rutherford Dust, this wine captures the essence of the land and the craftsmanship that has defined Beaulieu for over a century.
As a tribute to founder Georges de Latour, this wine embodies the values he instilled in the vineyard: quality, tradition, and dedication. In 2024, Wine Spectator ranked the 2021 as the #2 wine in the world, further solidifying its position as one of Napa’s most prestigious offerings.
2021 Beaulieu Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Georges de Latour Private Reserve
JD98+ Lastly, the flagship 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Georges De Latour Private Reserve is in the same ballpark as the 2019 and is an incredibly elegant yet concentrated 2021 that does everything right. Purple-hued, with ample cassis, wild sage, graphite, and darker chocolate-like aromatics, it picks up a Graves-like gravelly earth character with air and is full-bodied, has ripe, polished tannins, beautiful overall balance, and a great finish. As with many of the top 2021s, it s a touch reserved and closed and needs 4-5 years of bottle age, but will drink well for 30 years.
JS98 Intense aromas of iodine, blackcurrants, cedar, sandalwood and mint follow through to a medium to full body with silky tannins that spread across the palate and expand in a balanced and harmonized way. Hints of chocolate and fruit at the end. Some tar.
WS95 This is packed with dark, winey flavors of black currant and blackberry paste underscored with alder, sweet tobacco, warm paving stone and black licorice notes, while a violet accent fills the background. The polished finish makes this accessible now, but there’s plenty of life ahead. Drink now through 2042.
