SAVOUR THE WINE MOMENTS

Good food and wine have the ability to transform a dinner into a kind of love affair. In fact, a dinner is not complete without fine wine. One will immediately think of the classic Georges de Latour from Beaulieu Vineyard (BV), which has been served by numerous American presidents at White House State dinners.

Beaulieu Vineyard was founded by Georges de Latour in 1900. With his viticulture and winemaking expertise from Bordeaux in France, he immigrated to California with his wife and established his own winery in the Rutherford district of Napa Valley.

To celebrate Georges de Latour’s 80th anniversary, Beaulieu Vineyard launched the 2016 new release of Georges de Latour Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon. Receiving praise from critics including a 97-point score from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, the wine is undoubtedly of suberb quality.

With notes of black currant, blueberry, blackberry, violet and wild sage, the vintage release brings an exquisite array of acidity and balance, with depth and elegance, yet offering strength and structure that reminds us of the sunny Californian landscape.

In honour of this special day, the renowned Austrian wine glass brand Riedel joined hands with Beaulieu Vineyard winemaker Trevor Durling to create a new custom glass for Georges de Latour. The bold design honours the style of the wine, its winemaking and history of the winery.
