2014 Beaulieu Vineyard ‘Georges de Latour Private Reserve’ Cabernet Sauvignon

Beaulieu Vineyard has been synonymous with premium Cabernet Sauvignon production for the best part of a century. The Rutherford Bench vineyard was established in 1900 by George de Latour, a Frenchman who bought over Cabernet cuttings from Bordeaux and propagated them in his nursery. The estate’s reputation was established by its cult winemaker André Tchelistcheff – André pioneered the use of small oak barrels for ageing and the estate was one of the very first to bottle its wines at the winery.

Today winemaker Joel Aiken upholds the high standards of his predecessors, with the wines now showing more finesse and subtlety than ever. Joel now produces extremely fine Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays as well as world-class Cabernet Sauvignons.
