Flaneur Willamette Valley Chardonnay 2023

$3199

Flâneur is the Willamette Valley project of Marty Doerschlag, who bought the old Carlton grain elevator from neighbor Ken Wright in 2013 and turned it into one of the more thoughtful new addresses in Oregon Chardonnay and Pinot. Winemaker Grant Coulter — formerly of Beaux Frères — has run the cellar since 2016. The estate vineyards (La Belle Promenade in the Chehalem Mountains, Flanerie in Ribbon Ridge) are farmed organically and biodynamically, dry-farmed without irrigation. This valley-wide Chardonnay is the calling card: cool-climate, taut, restrained, more Côte d'Or than California — exactly where Oregon Chardonnay has been heading, and exactly why people are paying attention.

More about Flaneur

Flaneur is not a team of pioneers. They came together many years after people already figured out that the terroir of the Willamette Valley was special, especially for Pinot Noir.

Flaneur is, instead, a team of passionate wine lovers who have a vision of wine that is incredibly consistent with our own, and with so many of you. They’re focus is on drinkability. They want us to enjoy their wines without effort, and probably with a meal. They want balance and harmony. They want wine that tastes like where it’s from – in this case, Oregon.
