Beaux Freres is one of the earliest and now leading wineries in Oregon, founded by Michael G. Etzel, and brother-in-law ("Beaux Freres" in French) wine critic Robert M. Parker Jr in 1986. Since their first vintage in 1991, the Beaux Freres philosophy remains the same; to produce a world-class Pinot Noir from small, well-balanced yields and ripe, healthy fruit that represent the essence of the vineyard. In 2017, Maisons & Domaines Henriot embarked on a partnership with Michael Etzel acquiring Beaux Freres.
