About Beaux Freres
Beaux Freres is one of Oregon's most prestigious Pinot Noir producers, founded in 1991 by winemaker Michael Etzel and his brother-in-law, wine critic. The name, French for "brothers-in-law," reflects the partnership that launched one of the Willamette Valley's most acclaimed estates. The 88-acre Upper North Valley vineyard is farmed biodynamically on volcanic basalt soils in the Ribbon Ridge AVA, producing Pinot Noir of remarkable depth, complexity, and aging potential.
Tastings are by appointment and offer a rare chance to experience wines from one of Oregon's most collectible producers. Beaux Freres Pinot Noir consistently earns scores above and appears regularly on top-100 lists worldwide. The estate's combination of biodynamic farming, meticulous winemaking, and an extraordinary vineyard site has cemented its place among the finest Pinot Noir producers in the New World.
