Wine Spectator #2 Wine of the Year – 2021 Georges de Latour Private Reserve

Wine Spectator reviewed nearly 10,500 wines this year and our 2021 Beaulieu Vineyard Georges de Latour Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon earned the #2 spot! The Top 100 wines were chosen on the basis of outstanding quality, as judged in Wine Spectator’s official blind tastings, as well as on its excellent value, and because of our winery’s leading role in our region.

Watch commentary by critic and reviewer, James Molesworth, as he highlights what makes our 2021 Beaulieu Vineyard Georges de Latour Private Reserve No. 2 in Wine Spectator's Top 100.

Each year since 1988, Wine Spectator has released its Top 100 list, where the editors select the most exciting wines from the thousands we reviewed during the course of the year. These wines are a diverse group—ranging from emerging labels and regions to traditional estates exploring new directions—and all generate the excitement we call the “X-factor.”

In addition, the selection also prioritizes quality (based on score), value (based on price) and availability (based on the number of cases either made or imported into the United States). These criteria are applied to the wines that rated outstanding (90 points or higher on Wine Spectator’s 100-point scale) each year to determine the Top 100.

As many wines are made in limited quantities and not available in every market, the Top 100 is not a “shopping list,” but rather a guide to wineries to watch in the future—a reflection of the producers and wines the Wine Spectator editors become particularly passionate about in each new year.
