Als André Tchelistcheff 1938 zum Weingut Beaulieu kam, verkostete er den privaten Familienwein der Familie de Latour aus dem Jahrgang 1936. Dieser Cabernet-Sauvignon-basierte Wein war so außergewöhnlich, dass Tchelistcheff darauf bestand, ihn abzufüllen und als Flaggschiff des Hauses zu vermarkten. 1940 brachte Beaulieu Vineyard den ersten Jahrgang der Private Reserve auf den Markt und benannte ihn zu Ehren seines Gründers. So entstand der erste Georges de Latour Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon – ein Wein, der dazu bestimmt war, zum ersten „Kult-Cabernet“ des Napa Valley zu werden.

Vinous
The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Georges de Latour is outrageously beautiful. A wine of statuesque build and class, the 2021 represents another major step forward for BV. Black cherry, plum, spice, new leather, menthol, mocha and gravel soar from the glass. This is an especially refined vintage for this flagship wine. Here, too, there is plenty of tannin, but it is not anywhere near as perceptible as it was in the past. Shorter macerations and gentler overall winemaking, including fewer lots vinified in barrel, have elevated the Georges meaningfully. - Antonio GalloniDunnuck
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.
