Beaulieu Vineyard, affectionately known as BV, is one of Napa Valley’s most historic and influential wineries, with a legacy that stretches back to 1900. Founded by Georges de Latour and his wife Fernande, BV was built on a vision to bring the elegance of fine French winemaking to the sun-drenched soils of California. Over more than a century, the winery has become synonymous with classic Napa Cabernet Sauvignon and a steadfast commitment to quality and innovation.

From the beginning, Beaulieu Vineyard was a pioneer. It survived Prohibition by producing sacramental wine and emerged stronger, poised to help shape the modern California wine industry. In 1938, de Latour hired famed French winemaker André Tchelistcheff, whose influence transformed BV into a benchmark for excellence. His meticulous approach to viticulture and winemaking introduced techniques such as cold fermentation and malolactic fermentation to Napa, innovations that defined a new era of American wine.

The BV estate in Rutherford remains a landmark of Napa Valley heritage. Its vineyards, planted in the heart of the appellation, are renowned for producing wines of structure, depth, and longevity. Chief among them is the legendary Georges de Latour Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon — a wine that has set the standard for Napa Cabernet for decades and continues to earn critical acclaim.

Today, Beaulieu Vineyard blends over 120 years of tradition with a forward-looking approach to sustainability and precision winemaking. Each vintage reflects a balance of heritage and innovation, capturing the essence of Napa Valley terroir. As one of California’s most respected wineries, BV remains dedicated to crafting world-class wines that honor its storied past while shaping the future of Napa Valley.
