Belle Pente Vineyard
Belle Pente (bell-pont') means "beautiful slope" - a perfect description for our hillside vineyard site in the Yamhill-Carlton District of Oregon's Willamette Valley. Our inspiration comes from the exquisite wines of Burgundy and Alsace, and follows the guiding principle that great wine is made in the vineyard and merely nurtured in the winery. Our standard practices include organic & biodynamic viticulture, carefully managing vineyard quality and yields, and meticulously hand sorting the grapes that arrive at the winery to remove all underripe or damaged fruit. Our 3-level, gravity-flow winery is designed for gentle, natural winemaking in small lots, with minimal handling and manipulation, to produce premium wines of character and distinction.
Belle Pente is owned and operated by Jill & Brian O'Donnell. The 70 acre property is located on a historic farm 2 miles east of the town of Carlton in the new Yamhill-Carlton District viticultural area. The vineyard site rises from 240' to 500' with south, Read more »
A big wine, weighing in at nearly 15% alcohol. Lots of apricot and peach notes, with wonderful mouth feel.

Belle Pente Pinot Gris Willamette Valley 2006
Snoothrank:
Wildly aromatic from the get go, this packs in rich honey comb, game, pear, mint, dried peach, spice, flint, and worn wood tones in a nose that shows some heat but gains lift for the high alcohol. On entry this is really powerful with notes of baking spices and mace up front followed by very ripe pear and peach fruit. The alcohol is obvious, if ... Read More

Belle Pente Pinot Gris Willamette Valley Reserve 2006
Snoothrank:
A wild nose, gorgeous slightly honied fruit nose, yes its hot but so rich with great wax, incense, dried orchard fruits pressed flower and forest floor tones, noticeably sweet with plenty of acid to balance it, deep dried pear and spiced peach tones with honied pineapple nuances on the quite thick and powerful but still elegant, mid-plate with ...
