Beaux Frères
Chardonnay 2023
Willamette Valley
The 2023 Beaux Frères Chardonnay reads like a topographic map of the Willamette Valley, each line drawn with intention. It captures the region’s cool poise and underlying energy in a distinctive way, translating site into sensation. This is a Chardonnay defined by articulation, where freshness and depth move together without compromise.
That articulation emerges from a deliberate mosaic of vineyards rather than a single voice. Fruit from Doration, the Beaux Frères Estate, and Star Mooring spans the Chehalem Mountains and Ribbon Ridge AVAs, uniting elevation, exposure, and soil nuance into a coherent whole. Each site adds its own inflection, creating a wine that feels layered and dimensional while remaining firmly centered.
In the cellar, the same approach guides every decision. Whole-cluster pressing and ambient yeast fermentation set the tone from the outset, while time in French oak builds texture without softening the wine’s edges. A final period in stainless steel sharpens line and preserves lift, carrying the Chardonnay to a finish marked by poise, persistence, and confidence.

“So layered, textural, minerally and savory in character. This offers brilliant acidity, lemon zest and chalky minerals with light almond and toast nuances. A slight flinty, reductive aroma adds an enticing edge, then the palate delivers lemon curd, marzipan and hazelnuts that expand on the finish. Drink now or hold.”
