Beaux Frères The Beaux Frères Vineyard Pinot Noir 2019: an elegant Pinot Noir from Oregon
The History of Beaux Frères Winery in Oregon
Beaux Frères is a leading winery located in the Willamette Valley of Oregon, United States. It was founded in 1986 by wine critic Robert Parker and his brother-in-law Michael Etzel , who share a passion for making quality wines. The winery focuses entirely on Pinot Noir , with terroir and natural viticulture as key features. The winery is located on the northwestern slopes of the Ribbon Ridge AVA , a subregion of the Willamette Valley known for its excellent conditions for Pinot Noir.
The region has a cool, temperate climate with wet winters and dry summers, ideal for the slow ripening of Pinot Noir. The soils consist of ancient marine sediments which provide deep structure to the wines.
Beaux Frères The Beaux Frères Vineyard Pinot Noir 2019
The 2019 Beaux Frères The Beaux Frères Vineyard Pinot Noir comes from the original vineyard planted by Michael Etzel in 1988. This vineyard covers approximately 10 hectares and is planted entirely with Pinot Noir vines, much of which is left untopped to allow for natural growth.
The wine is made from carefully selected grapes that are harvested by hand. The 2019 harvest took place under ideal conditions, with a moderate growing season that produced ripe grapes with a nice acidity and aromatic intensity.
Vinification and maturation of Beaux Frères Pinot Noir 2019
After manual harvesting, the grapes are gently destemmed and fermented in open-top fermentation tanks . Fermentation is done using natural yeasts , which contributes to the complexity of the wine. During fermentation, the grape skins are regularly immersed to extract color, aroma and tannins.
The maturation takes place in French oak barrels , some of which are new. The wine matures in barrel for about 12 to 18 months , giving it a subtle wood influence that supports the fruity and earthy aromas without being overpowering.

The 2019 Pinot Noir The Beaux Frères Vineyard is super expressive this vintage, with scents of brambly fruit, rose petals, forest floor, sweet balsamic and blood orange. The palate has a weightless quality, its silty tannins and bright acidity highlighting an array of earthy accents, and it finishes very long.

From: Oregon’s 2019 Pinot Noirs - A Return to Classicism (Feb 2022)
Deep, shimmering magenta. Expansive red and blue fruit preserve scents show superb clarity and take on suggestions of pungent flowers, exotic spices and smoky minerality with air. Juicy and energetic on the palate, offering concentrated blueberry, black raspberry, five-spice powder and floral pastille flavors underscored by a vein of juicy acidity. The floral note repeats emphatically on a wonderfully long finish that features polished tannins and reverberating red fruit character.
- By Josh Raynolds on February 2022
Mikey Etzel (with his father and winery founder, Mike, still lending a hand) made a compelling set of Pinots in 2019 that must be counted among the top wines ever from this iconic producer. The trend toward brighter (but still powerful and intensely flavored) wines, with new oak influence receding, began well over a decade ago and continues apace today. The conditions of the 2019 growing season played favorably into that style. I was greatly impressed by the wines’ detail and vibrant fruit expressions. The “basic” Willamette Valley bottling keeps going from strength to strength, as does the Belles Soeurs, which in this vintage was the best version of that bottling that I have ever had.

Wijnhuis
'Beaux Frères' betekent 'zwagers'. Het gaat in dit geval om de zwagers Michael G. Etzel en Robert Parker, die in 1986 dit wijnhuis kochten in Oregon in de VS. In 1996 werd Belles Soeurs voor het eerst gemaakt, maar de wijn werd direct het jaar erna opgenomen in de Beaux Frères-wijnen. In 2017 werd de wijn opnieuw geïntroduceerd. The Belles Soeurs is een geselecteerde cuvée die is samengesteld uit 3 wijngaarden in de AVA Ribbon Ridge in de Willamette Valley. De stijl van Beaux Frères is te omschrijven als natuurlijk en authentiek, volgens biologisch-dynamische en biologische werkwijzen. Tegenwoordig is het wijnhuis in handen van Maisons & Domaines Henriot (eigenaars van Champagne Henriot, Bouchard Père et Fils en William Fèvre).
Enkele jaren geleden zijn ze begonnen met biologisch-dynamische landbouw. Ze werken allen met natuurlijke producten zoals tonics van paardenbloem en brandnetelthee de manier is voor een symbiotische relatie met ons landschap en dit geeft top fruit. Ze composteren ter plaatse enentende eigen stekken en besteden veel aandacht aan het regelmatig observeren en verbinden met de wijnstokken.
De Beaux Frères-wijngaard bevindt zich op een terrein van 88 hectare bovenop Ribbon Ridge in de buurt van Newberg (Yamhill County, Willamette Valley, Oregon, VS). Hoge en statige Douglas-sparren beslaan bijna 50 hectare van de landerijen met hoeve en wijnmakerijgebouwen die nog eens 8 hectare beslaan. De wijngaard is gelegen op 30 acres (waarvan 24 beplant) van steile, aaneengesloten op het zuidoosten, zuiden en zuidwesten gerichte heuvels van Willakenzie-bodems op een hoogte van ongeveer 120 meter. Het planten begon in 1988 met strak beplante Pinot Noir-wijnstokken met een dichtheid van ongeveer 2200 planten per hectare (veel concurrentie zorgt voor dieper wortelen). De oudste wijnstokken in de wijngaard zijn nu 31 jaar oud en de wijngaard als geheel is een mengsel van eigengewortelde Pommard- en Wädenswil-klonen en jongere Dijon-klonen op phylloxera-resistente onderstammen. De Upper Terrace Vineyard, net ten noorden en een beetje hoger gelegen van de Beaux Frères Vineyard, werd voor het eerst geplant in 2000. Het bestaat uit Dijon-klonen van Pinot Noir die ongeveer 9 hectare beslaan van het 40 hectare grote terrein - de rest is dicht bebost en weelderig met flora en fauna.
