Grape: 100% Pinot Noir

The making of Domaine Beaux Frères Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2023 stands out for its approach to minimal intervention and precision, designed to showcase the freshness and natural expression of the terroir. This 2023 vintage was a turning point for the winery, produced by winemaker Damien Lapuyade under the direction of Mikey Etzel.

Primary fermentation is carried out exclusively with wild/native yeasts from the vineyard in small open vats for a period of 12 to 18 days. Bazuqueos and pumping over by hand are carried out to extract color and tannins.

It was aged for10 months on its fine lees in French oak barrels. In the 2023 vintage, only 20% new oak was used (front 30-35% of previous vintages) so as not to mask the purity of the fruit.

Faithful to the Domaine's tradition, the wine was bottled without filtering or fining to preserve all its texture, density and aromatic complexity.
