Beaulieu Vineyard Georges de Latour Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 1972 750ml

Few wines in American history carry the prestige and legacy of the Beaulieu Vineyard Georges de Latour Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon. Named in honor of BV’s founder, Georges de Latour, and shaped for decades by the legendary winemaker André Tchelistcheff — widely regarded as the father of modern California winemaking — this iconic Napa Valley Cabernet has defined the benchmark for American fine wine since its first vintage in 1936.

The 1972 vintage represents a remarkable chapter in this storied lineage — a wine of extraordinary age and historical significance, sourced from BV’s prized Rutherford estate vineyards in the heart of Napa Valley. A true collector’s piece and a living piece of California wine history.

Tasting Notes
