BV is an award-winning winery in the heart of Napa's Rutherford AVA. It had its start in 1900, when businessman Georges de Latour's wife, Fernande, first saw the land that would become their original Rutherford vineyard. She called it "beau lieu," or "beautiful place." Latour sold his cream of tartar business, bought four acres and created Beaulieu Vineyard with the goal of creating wines to rival the wines he enjoyed in France.

 

Durling, who grew up in neighboring Sonoma County, studied at the University of California Davis in the Viticulture and Enology program. He became chief winemaker in 2017. Before joining BV, he was chief winemaker at Hewitt and Provenance.
