Wine Advocate
The 2021 Pinot Noir The Belles Soeurs opens from bright orange peel to a deeper core of pomegranate, raspberry, dried earth and botanicals, really blossoming as it spends time in the glass and from day to day after the bottle is opened. The medium-bodied palate balances concentrated, floral flavors, chalky tannins and juicy acidity, and it offers a long, spicy finish with a fan of amaro-like spices.

Wine Spectator
Spirited and precise, with expressive raspberry, garrigue and hibiscus tea tones that build richness and multilayered flavors toward refined tannins. Drink now through 2032.
Notes
A longtime family endeavor, the Beaux Frères winery now includes three generations working on the property, "and the pace of things multiplies with each new set of feet on the farm." After a few difficult seasons, their vintage report describes 2021 as a year that "brought intense relief" thanks to rainfall after a hot August. This Pinot Noir, crafted with "minimal handling," should show beautifully.
