Here is the stunning 2021 ‘Georges de Latour’ by BV.

Beaulieu Vineyard

April 22, 2024

I won’t forget my first Georges de Latour. One of the great historic Napa estates, Beaulieu Vineyard began in 1900, when Georges de Latour's wife, Fernande, first laid eyes on the land that would become their original Rutherford vineyard — and she named it "beau lieu," or "beautiful place." De Latour saw the potential of the land and sold his thriving cream of tartar business, purchasing the four-acre ranch and later founding Beaulieu Vineyard.  I have really loved the ‘Georges de Latours’ from the mid-90s which at the time were some of the best of Napa. Winemaker Trevor Durling is making some incredible wines. Originally from Sonoma County, Trevor has a degree in viticulture and enology from the esteemed University of California, Davis.

I am enamored by the 2021 Beaulieu Vineyard ‘Rutherford Reserve’ Cabernet Sauvignon (OB, 94) which is a killer wine for the price, showing great concentration and soil character  Don’t miss out on the incredible 2021 Beaulieu Vineyard ‘Georges de Latour’ Cabernet Sauvignon (OB, 98) which is amongst the finest of these wines in recent memory.

2021 Beaulieu Vineyard ‘Napa Valley’ Cabernet Sauvignon- The 2021 Beaulieu Vineyard ‘Napa Valley’ Cabernet Sauvignon is a juicy and delicious bottling that is very impressive at the entry level. Smooth and silky throughout the drinking experience, this delivers cassis and mocha tones alongside suggestions of espresso grounds. Smooth and refined, this is generous and delicious Cabernet Sauvignon that will age well for another decade. Drink 2024-2034- 91

2021 Beaulieu Vineyard ‘Rutherford Reserve’ Cabernet Sauvignon- The brilliant 2021 ‘Rutherford Reserve’ by winemaker Trevor During combines nearly all Cabernet Sauvignon, with small portions Petit Verdot and Malbec that was stored for 21 months in all new French oak before bottling. This is very concentrated in the glass, offering alluring dark currants, potpourri and anise notes alongside dark chocolate shavings and tar. The palate is deep and rich with layers of dense dark fruits alongside its silky texture and good sense of weight. Enjoy this beauty over the next fifteen years. Drink 2024-2040- 94

2021 Beaulieu Vineyard ‘Georges de Latour’ Cabernet Sauvignon- The 2021 ‘George de Latour’ is a beautiful follow-up to the outstanding 2020 which is one of the brilliant wines of the vintage. This is inky and dark in the glass, revealing in its loamy soil character on the nose, alongside violets, and Black Forest cake. The palate is wonderfully gratifying in terms of power, length and weight, with bright underlying acidity. Everything is clockwork here, with plenty of damp earthy character and a loaded core of black and blue fruits. Usually this wine needs time but it is really hitting its stride right out of the gate. This will easily be a 20 year wine. Drink 2024-2046- 98
