The roots of Beaulieu Vineyard were firmly planted in Napa Valley by Frenchman Georges de Latour, a native of Bordeaux, in 1900. Within a few years he purchased 128 acres of prime vineyard land adjacent to his home in Rutherford, then later bought more land near Oakville. Today these vineyards, which are still called BV #1 and BV #2, are at the heart of Beaulieu Vineyard�s production of Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon and Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon.

De Latour proved to be highly visionary with regard to the business of winemaking. He developed a relationship with the Catholic Church to provide altar wine, thereby allowing Beaulieu to legally stay in operation during Prohibition. His genius was proven again in 1938 when he hired a young Russo-French enologist, Andre Tchelistcheff. Andre�s influence was immediate and dramatic- he put Beaulieu on the map by producing a series of award-winning Cabernets, as well as developing techniques and technologies that are used by many of today�s winemakers including Joel Aiken, our current Vice-President of Winemaking.
