Beaux Frères is Oregon's leading wine company with Domaine Serene , founded by Michael G. Etzel, brother-in-law (“Beaux Frères†in French) of the wine critic Robert Parker. First launched in 1996 as a companion label to the Beaux Freres Vineyard, The Belles Soeurs is a hand-selected cask reserve. Beaux Frères is located on the most prestigious terroirs of the Willamette Valley. Since their first vintage in 1991, the Beaux Frères philosophy has remained the same: to produce a world-class Pinot Noir with small, balanced yields and ripe, healthy fruit that represents the essence of the vineyard. Beaux Frères has been operating completely biodynamically and organically since 2002. The owner of Beaux Frères belongs to the Bourgogne company Maisons & Domaines Henriot (Champagne Henriot, Bouchard Père & Fils and William Fèvre). This wine is distributed by the Place du Bordeaux.
