The Wine

The iconic symbol of Elizabeth Chambers Cellar has been the “papillon” (butterfly) since its inception in 2013. Nouvelle Papillon, the new butterfly from Lazy River Vineyard, encapsulates the recent evolution of our winery. From ownership to vineyards to winemaking, Elizabeth Chambers Cellar has undergone many changes over the past two years. We’ve produced single-vineyard Pinot noir from Lazy River Vineyard before, but for this lot, we’ve entered new territory, producing a wine primarily from the Mt. Eden heritage clone. This wine marks a metamorphosis for Elizabeth Chambers Cellar and promises to be coveted by Willamette Valley Pinot noir collectors for years to come.

The Winery

Elizabeth Chambers Cellar was founded in 2013, with a commitment to producing delicately balanced yet distinctive Pinot noir that reflects the finest vineyards in the Willamette Valley. We are a boutique winery specializing in handcrafted micro-regional Pinot noir made in downtown McMinnville, the heart of Oregon Wine Country. The butterfly on our label is our tribute to Elizabeth. Her determination to establish a boutique wine brand and her perseverance inspired her family to complete the winery’s metamorphosis into a luxury destination for Oregon Pinot noir worthy of a collector’s cellar.
