Shop › Beaux Freres

Beaux Frères strives to produce high quality wines from Pinot noir grapes following classical Burgundian winegrowing practices. We seek to elaborate on the extraordinary quality the Oregon vineyard can achieve given a low yield of physiologically ripe fruit and minimal intervention in the cellar. Since our first vintage in 1991, the Beaux Frères philosophy remains the same-to produce a world-class Pinot noir from tiny yields and ripe fruit that represents the essence of our vineyard. In pursuit of these goals, the Beaux Frères Vineyard was planted with tightly spaced vines, and yields are kept to some of the lowest in both the New and Old World. The grapes are harvested when physiologically (rather than analytically) ripe. Our winemaking philosophy is one of minimal intervention with clean fermentation utilizing indigenous yeast. The wines are stored in French oak for 12 to 14 months with changing percentage of new oak to match the strength of the wines. Beaux Frères is never racked until removed from barrel for bottling, which occurs without fining or filtration. These non-manipulative, uncompromising methods guarantee a wine that is the most natural and authentic vineyard expression possible. Previous vintages demonstrate that these methods also allow our Beaux Frères to develop significant perfume, weight, and texture in the bottle.

Frères reveals a classic Pinot Noir perfume of black fruits (a common characteristic of our finest vintages) in addition to forest floor and floral notes. We use about 80% new Francois Frères Barrels and it was interesting to see how easily the oak was absorbed in this wine. This medium ... more

BN#242990

Began as a very promising vintage that pleased us early on, but when the wine went into bottle it seemed to become uncharacteristically hard, tannic and backward. Frequent tastings over the last nine years have consistently shown a wine that is deep ruby/purple, with relatively high extract, rich and concentrated ... more

BN#272482

A vintage hailed by wine pundits as a great one for Oregon Pinot Noir. It was a year of relatively high yields (even for us) and a spectacular growing year followed by very good harvest conditions. Our biggest crop of the 1990's produced a wine stylistically reminiscent of Burgundy. The ... more

Beaux Freres Belles Soeurs The Beaux Freres Vineyard Pinot Noir 1996

BN#268385

Medium garnet-colored with pink at the rim. Aromas of sausage intermixed with mushrooms, red cherries, and spice require coaxing. The wine has a sweet attack, but narrows in the mouth with a dry finish. Still alive and intact with a certain firmness, but the drying tannin and biting acidity suggest ... more
