A gorgeous Pinot Noir the plantings from 1988 are being replanted as the phyloxerated vines are being removed. This wine shows elegance and grace while maintaining depth and concentration but make no mistake it's built to age. The Beaux Frères Vineyard is clonally diverse with a massale selection of Pommard and Wadenswil and 115. Red fruited aromas and beautiful interplay between bright berries mixed with fresh mint and savoury herbs. The palate remains fresh and elegant with red-fruited generosity and savoury depth of spearmint and wild anise. (Drink between 2024-2040)
Vinous: 95 Points
Darkly floral the 2022 Pinot Noir The Beaux Frères Vineyard wafts up with an earthy bouquet as flowery underbrush and crushed ashen stones complicate dried black cherries and a flourish of lavender. This is cool-toned and racy with a cascade of sweet spice and ripe red and blue fruits that flow across a stream of vibrant acidity. The 2022 finishes structured long and beautifully balanced leaving a classically dry sensation as rosy inner florals gradually recede. In 2022 Mikey Metzel pushed the new oak up to 35% from 25% due to the quality of the tannins and freshness of the fruit. (Drink between 2026-2034)
