Beaux Frères

Since their first vintage in 1991, the Beaux Frères philosophy remains the same; to produce a world-class Pinot Noir from small, well-balanced yields and ripe, healthy fruit that not only represents the essence of the vineyard but also the passion that they purse it with. In pursuit of these goals, the Beaux Frères Vineyard is planted with tightly placed vines, and yields are kept to some of the lowest in the industry. The grapes are harvested when physiologically, not through analytical ripeness.Their winemaking philosophy involves minimal intervention with clean fermentations utilizing indigenous yeast. The wines are stored in French oak for 10 to 12 months adjusting the percentage of new oak to compliment the wine the vintage and Mother Nature has given. Beaux Frères is never racked until it is 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 of vineyard expression possible. Previous vintages demonstrate that these methods also allow Beaux Frères to develop significant perfume, weight, and texture in the bottle that is simply divine.
