The mission at Domaine Roy & fils is to produce wines of purity and transparency at the highest level from their land in Dundee and Carlton. Marc-André Roy and winemaker Jared Etzel established Domaine Roy & fils in 2012 to celebrate their heritage and continue the winemaking history of their fathers, Robert Roy and Michael Etzel, who founded Beaux Frères Winery in 1991. Over 20 years later, the two families have kept the same focus of producing timeless wine through meticulous and almost obsessive work in the estate vineyards. Through careful stewardship of the land, a minimalist winemaking approach and a commitment to organic farming, Domaine Roy et fils wines exhibit a full expression of vintage and terroir.
