An inaugural release from century-old BV, the grapes for Beaurouge are sourced from the entire length and breadth of the Napa Valley, mostly from Beaulieu's estate vineyards. Winemaker Jeffrey Stambor deftly juggles and blends no less than 9 varieties (Petit Verdot, Sangiovese, Touriga Nacional), aging the cuvée in 50% American, 35% French and 15% Hungarian oak. Phew!
