Shop › Belle Pente

Belle Pente (bell-pont') means "beautiful slope" - a perfect description for our hillside vineyard site overlooking the misty shrouds of Oregon's Coast Range mountains in the North 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 carefully managing vineyard quality and yields, coupled with 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 2 miles east of the historic town of Carlton. The vineyard and winery are on one of the oldest farms in Yamhill County, the heart of Oregon's wine country. The vineyard site rises from 240' to 500' with south, south-east, and south-west exposures. The first vineyard was planted in 1994, and now includes 16 acres of Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, and Chardonnay. We also lease seven acres of "old vines" Pinot Noir at Murto Vineyard (est. 1978) in the Red Hills of Dundee. Our estate vineyards are supplemented with high quality fruit from carefully selected Yamhill County vineyards. The winery is open on Memorial Day and Thanksgiving Weekends, and at other times by appointment.

Our "basic" Pinot from 2007 is a bit of a no-brainer. An estate-grown Pinot from a great appellation for around 20 bucks...huh? This is the reaction that we've heard from sommeliers and wine merchants around the country who have been blown away by the quality-to-price ratio of this wine. A ... more

Belle Pente Reserve Pinot Gris 2006

BN#257454

Ideal growing conditions allowed us to achieve the ripeness needed for the best expression of our rich, concentrated, definitely not "Grigio" style. Grapes for this wine come primarily from our estate, Whistling Ridge, and Walker vineyards. All of these are planted on sedimentary formations, with soils that impart a distinct ... more
