Situated in the heart of Oregon's Willamette Valley, Beaux Frères Vineyards is celebrated for its commitment to crafting exceptional Pinot Noir wines. Founded in 1986 by Michael Etzel and his brother-in-law, renowned wine critic Robert Parker, Jr., Beaux Frères has remained true to its original vision of producing small-lot, estate-grown wines of the highest quality. From meticulously tended vineyards to hands-on winemaking in the cellar, every aspect of the winemaking process is guided by a relentless pursuit of excellence and a deep reverence for the land. At Beaux Frères, the vineyards are the soul of the operation.
Nestled in the rolling hills of the Willamette Valley, the estate vineyards are planted to a diverse array of Pinot Noir clones, each carefully selected to thrive in the region's cool climate and volcanic soils. These unique terroirs, combined with sustainable farming practices and low-intervention winemaking techniques, result in wines of exceptional depth, complexity, and elegance.
Central to Beaux Frères' portfolio are its acclaimed Pinot Noir wines, which showcase the diversity and richness of the Willamette Valley. From the silky texture and vibrant red fruit of the Willamette Valley cuvée to the power and intensity of the flagship Beaux Frères Vineyard bottling, each wine offers a glimpse into the unique expression of its terroir.
Beyond its Pinot Noir offerings, Beaux Frères also produces a limited quantity of Chardonnay and Syrah wines, each reflecting the same commitment to quality and craftsmanship that defines the estate's Pinot Noirs.
