| Willamette Valley Pinot Noir |
|
This cuvée (formerly known as Belles Soeurs) is made from fruit grown on select vineyard sites in Yamhill County. It benefits from the same integrity in the winemaking process as the estate wines. The sites are farmed sustainably and managed to very low yields. It is not fined or filtered and is aged in the same French oak barrels as the estate bottlings, although the percentage of new oak is intentionally lower.
Notes
A delicate medium ruby colour and very expressive aromas consisting of sweet cherries, a walk through the woods and a splash of white flowers. It consists of wine made from the following vineyards: Beaux Frères, Shea, Upper Terrace, Zena Crown, Amalie Robert and Carabella. The wine represents one of the silkiest and most feminine styles Beaux Frères have made to date. There is no lack of concentration but the equilibrium of all the elements seems to be the chief hallmark of this very successful vintage. The balance which is always so critical is spot on. The tannins are unobtrusive and extremely silky. This is a real crowd pleaser, a very lush and beautifully supple Pinot Noir for the fan of instant gratification.
