Stylized image of Love and Squalor bottles

Indy and Oregon from Love and Squalor

Oregon Pinot Noir used to be a scrappy, underdog affair. Independent producers carved out reputations with low-budget setups, idealism, and incredible wines. But over time, that spirit has faded a little, as international investors and corporate players moved in.

Which is why weโ€™re so thrilled to offer new releases from Love & Squalor โ€” a reminder of what made Willamette Pinot so compelling in the first place.

Full-Spectrum Chablis: Gautheronโ€™s Chiselled Kimmeridgian expressions, from Village to Grand Cru

Full-Spectrum Chablis: Gautheronโ€™s Chiselled Kimmeridgian expressions, from Village to Grand Cru

The essence of Chablis โ€“ the thing that sets it apart from all other Burgundies โ€“ is its stony soul. The appellation is defined by the Kimmeridgian marls of clay and limestone (flecked with ancient, fossilized seashells) that sit over limestone subsoils. That soil, together with Chablisโ€™ northern climate, make wines that are electric with acidity and minerality.

Burgundyโ€™s Next Superstar, Today

Burgundyโ€™s Next Superstar, Today

A few of us had the chance to enjoy dinner with Virgile Lignier. He was one of the young crop of vignerons and vigneronnes at the dinner who were somewhere in the process of taking charge at their family domaines (Cyrielle Rousseau of Armand Rousseau was there, for instance)...

Lopez de Heredia: Travel in Time with this Flatiron Favorite

There are few producers we return to with as much joyโ€”and as much regularityโ€”as Lopez de Heredia. These are wines that donโ€™t chase trends or market demands. Theyโ€™re made the same way theyโ€™ve been made for over a century: by hand, by instinct, and according to a timeline that belongs to no one but the winery itself.

Guรญmaro: The Story of a Landscape in Three Wines

Guรญmaro: The Story of a Landscape in Three Wines

From the very beginning at Flatiron, Guรญmaro has been our benchmark for Mencรญaโ€”and for the promise of Ribeira Sacra. Long before the region made its way onto the radar of sommeliers and collectors, we were obsessed with the wines: bright, earthy, and etched with the wild slate and granite terrain of Galiciaโ€™s steep river valleys.

Matassa 2023: Back on the Shelves (Briefly)

Matassa 2023: Back on the Shelves (Briefly)

Itโ€™s always a small miracle when we see Matassa arrive. These are wines with a devoted following, made in tiny quantities, and somehowโ€”against all oddsโ€”they make their way from the mountain vineyards of Calce to our shelves in San Francisco. The 2023s are vibrant, lifted, and full of life. Whether itโ€™s the crunchy, herbal Rouge, the saline tension of the Blanc, or the heady aromatics of the Coume de lโ€™Olla bottlings, each wine is a reminder of how expressive and joyful natural wine can be when itโ€™s guided by experience and grown in the right place.

Bermejos produces one of our favorite rosรฉs, year after year โ€” particularly if you love savory, serious rosรฉ ร  la Bandol.

Purity from Pataille

Sylvain Pataille is low-key one of the great winemakers in Burgundy. Thereโ€™s no doubt heโ€™s great: his wines make it to top wine lists and a select band of insiders love to collect them too. Heโ€™s been consulting oenologist to top producers for ages.

A Piedmont Heirloom, Saved by Love? Castello di Verduno Pelaverga

A Piedmont Heirloom, Saved by Love? Castello di Verduno Pelaverga

Why do top Barolo producers in the village of Verduno โ€“ like the Castello di Verduno, Burlotto, and Alessandria โ€“ continue to devote time and precious vineyard space to Pelaverga? Well, it provides so much of the magic of Nebbiolo (its aromatics, its cherry fruit) without its weight or structure. Pelaverga is "lighter than air," according to Burlotto, and its bright red fruit is married to thyme and rosemary.

Mugnier: Chambolle Love from Nuits-St-Georges

Mugnier: Chambolle Love from Nuits-St-Georges

For many years, one of the most beautiful sites in Nuits-Saint-Georges wasnโ€™t making a wine that truly reflected its soul.

That site was Clos de la Marรฉchale, the southernmost Premier Cru in the village, and the only one under the care of Frรฉdรฉric Mugnier. For decades, Mugnier had leased the vineyard to Faiveley, who made a perfectly respectable version of the wine โ€” structured, firm, and very much in the style of Nuits as weโ€™ve come to expect it. But when the lease finally ended in 2004, Mugnier took back the reins and began to show what this vineyard could truly be.
