The estate and the wine |
|
|
A prestigious Oregon estate, Beaux Frères is a hidden gem within the Artémis portfolio, alongside Clos de Tart, Château Grillet, and Château Latour in Pauillac.
Founded in 1986 by renowned American wine critic Robert Parker and his brother-in-law Michael Etzel, the estate cultivates 10 hectares in Ribbon Ridge under biodynamic farming, producing brilliant Pinot Noirs that rival some of Burgundy’s finest.
A benchmark for the region, Beaux Frères has established itself as a leading name in American viticulture, crafting wines of exceptional precision—undoubtedly among the most captivating today. |

Elegant and beautifully ripe, the 2022 Red Willamette Valley Pinot Noir reveals a generous character with delicate crushed strawberry notes, supported by oak aging that adds depth without overpowering the fruit. Its refined structure and polished tannins extend the wine’s elegance, offering a vibrant, fresh, and finely textured palate. Enjoy over the next five years and beyond, pairing perfectly with veal chops or roasted poultry. Rated 93/100 by Parker. |
