Vinification and aging

Winemaking at Beaux Frères is a blend of classic Burgundian traditions and a "laissez-faire" approach typical of great artisan wineries in Oregon. The goal is to allow the Ribbon Ridge terroir to express itself with minimal technological intervention.

Organic and Biodynamic Farming: Although not systematically certified on all plots, they follow very strict principles of soil regeneration.

Hand Harvesting: The grapes are harvested at optimal phenolic maturity, often with very low yields to concentrate the aromas.
