Yannick is a rock star! We fell in love with his Colombard, and now his Tannat, Chardonnay, Merlot and Cabernet. Check out these wines! — 9 years ago
From a restaurant in Puligny-Montrachet, popped and poured. Nice young color. A surprise of exotic fruit in the nose, with great verve and spine in the mouth. Outperformed expectations. — 9 years ago
Good black fruit with nice backbone — 3 years ago
Gift from Steve. Love this. — 4 years ago
A fantastic, serious wine and a fantastic deal. Really classic Morey st Denise. An enchanting and intoxicating nose with dark fruit, sweet earth, meaty notes, bay leaf and thyme; a hint of leather and game, maybe eucalyptus or amaro and an ethereal undercurrent of natural woods, woodsy without oaky or vanilla notes. Powerful, Round, rich, silky and savory on the palate. Not at all opulent but just in a great window with some resolves tannins despite still having a strong tannic spine. Baking spices followed by Sweet earth and sandalwood dominate a long finish. With air, also get a long dark cherry note, maybe some chocolate covered cherry. Deeper and more exotic savory notes. SIlky, plush and an earthier expression of a chambolle. Serious, and maybe even sexy ;-) — 5 years ago
Very nice. Dry, blueberry/concord taste. Good with dinner. — 7 years ago
There is almost an unmistakable sunscreen aftertaste that just obscured everything and I didn't even go to the beach today will try tomorrow... — 8 years ago
2010 - very straw and raspberry aromatics - very hidden palate that one hopes will express itself later - but one never knows with Pinot. — 9 years ago
Great with oysters, crab and shrimp — 11 years ago

Currently a bit muted upon opening, the 2011 Beaux Freres ‘Willamette Valley’ Pinot Noir needs more than a one hour decant prior to enjoying at this juncture. Once aroused this awakens to beautiful citrus tones and red fruit aromatics that build in the glass. The palate shows a really good texture and roundness with delicate pomegranate seed, red cherry candy and blood orange flavors that entice. There his a good elegance to this lighter style Pinot Noir. Drinking nicely now, this has another six plus years of life left. Drink 2019-2026- 92 — 5 years ago
Complex for the price. Easy drinking — 7 years ago
You need to give this bottle time - at least 60-90 minutes. Opened extremely flat but turned around to a classic BEaux Freres with great blackberry and floral aromas — 7 years ago
Beautiful! Classic, exactly what I'm look for in a Burgundy. — 8 years ago
