During the early 1900s, Georges imported pest-resistant rootstock from France in response to devastation of vines by Phylloxera starting in the 1890s. By 1904, de Latour rented a cellar, transitioning his efforts into winemaking in conjunction with importing and selling French rootstock.

Tchelistcheff brought his deep experience in French winemaking, having held positions in France’s national department of enology and viticulture.

The wine won a gold medal in the 1939 Golden Gate International Exhibition for best red wine. Georges de Latour Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon was released in 1941, a year after Georges de Latour’s death. Under Tchelistcheff, BV continued to earn international recognition as a highly respected vineyard whose wines were served to notable people including Winston Churchill, Generals Eisenhower and Mac…
