New wines from Flâneur’s award winning estate vineyards arrive alongside a limited library re-release and two celebratory additions to the fall lineup
October 5, 2026 (Carlton, OR) — Fall has arrived at Flâneur Wines and the Carlton winery is welcoming the season with a fresh collection of wines made for cooler days, longer dinners and gathering around the table. The lineup includes the 2024 Flânerie Vineyard Pinot Noir, 2024 Esprit de Corps Pinot Noir, 2025 La Belle Promenade Gamay Noir and N.V. Brut Sparkling Wine, plus a limited re-release of the 2019 Bon Vivant Pinot Noir from the Flâneur library.
The new releases bring together the distinct personalities of Flâneur’s two estate vineyards, while the 2019 Bon Vivant offers a chance to enjoy one of the winery’s wines with nearly seven years of bottle age. The 2025 Gamay Noir and N.V. Brut were also unveiled at Flâneur’s fall club celebration, rounding out a lineup that has something for everything from a casual afternoon to a more leisurely fall dinner.
“We wanted this collection to feel like fall at Flâneur: wines to open now, share with friends and settle into the season with,” says Flâneur Winemaker Anthony Sereni. “What’s especially exciting is how differently our two estate vineyards express themselves. Flânerie Vineyard, on the eastern slope of Ribbon Ridge, gives us wines with more structure, savory spice and bright acidity, while La Belle Promenade, in the Chehalem Mountains, shows plush texture, floral aromatics and vibrant acidity. Seeing those distinct personalities come together in this collection makes it a special snapshot of the places we farm.”
Flâneur Fall Releases
2024 Flânerie Vineyard Pinot Noir · Ribbon Ridge AVA
A single-vineyard expression from our estate site in the Ribbon Ridge AVA, opening with fresh cranberry and raspberry layered with berry cobbler, mocha, eucalyptus and lemon sage. The palate is acid-driven yet expansive, with rounded contours and firm, grippy tannins reminiscent of pomegranate seed. Blood orange and youthful red cherry bring freshness and precision to the finish. Delicate in profile but serious in structure, this wine will benefit from decanting in its youth and gain complexity with time in bottle. Pair with richer seafood, roasted poultry or pork. $65 | 93 Points, International Wine Report
2024 Esprit de Corps Pinot Noir · Ribbon Ridge AVA
A barrel-select bottling of Flânerie Vineyard Pinot Noir, exclusively available to members. Broad and deeply layered, with aromas of red plum, kirsch, marzipan and orange rind alongside Marionberry and a subtle warmth of spice. The palate carries greater weight and concentration, framed by fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity. Flavors of blueberry, Marionberry, coffee and fermented Japanese ume build through the mid-palate and persist into a long, structured finish. A natural match for protein-rich braised dishes and other deeply savory preparations. $75 | Member Exclusive | 94 Points, International Wine Report
2019 Bon Vivant Pinot Noir · La Belle Promenade Vineyard, Chehalem Mountains AVA
A limited re-release from the Flâneur library, the 2019 Bon Vivant Pinot Noir was held back from the original release for a special return to members. Composed from our finest 100% whole-cluster barrels from La Belle Promenade Vineyard, the 2019 vintage is now showing the rewards of time in bottle. Fresh strawberry and cherry are layered with developing notes of black tea, forest floor, mushroom and leather. Savory, nuanced and fully integrated, it is drinking beautifully now with further potential in the cellar. $125 | Member Exclusive | 94 Points, International Wine Report
2025 La Belle Promenade Gamay Noir · Chehalem Mountains AVA
Bright and light on its feet, our La Belle Promenade Gamay Noir is a love letter from the Chehalem Mountains to Beaujolais. This wine has a personality all its own—a true interpretation of the cultivar from our La Belle Promenade terroir. It is both spirited and profound, juicy and high-toned, with layers of vibrant red fruit and punctuated earthiness. Crafted with 100% whole clusters and partial carbonic maceration, it offers an intriguing balance of freshness and complexity. $45
N.V. Brut Sparkling Wine · Willamette Valley
Our Willamette Valley Non-Vintage Brut is a lively and expressive sparkling wine made for celebrations both grand and everyday. The blend may change with each release, but the intention remains the same: to craft a bright, balanced wine with generous texture and vibrant freshness. Effortlessly suited to the start of an evening, a long meal, or an unplanned occasion, it is a sparkling wine made to be shared in the spirit of experiencing the art of living. $50 | 16.5/20, Jancis Robinson
The 2023 Cuvée Constantin Pinot Noir, also part of the fall collection, has already sold through. The wine was the only Pinot Noir in Flâneur’s portfolio made from a blend of its two estate vineyards, bringing together 82% La Belle Promenade Vineyard and 18% Flânerie Vineyard. It earned 93 points from James Suckling.

About Flâneur Wines
A flâneur is, quite simply, a leisurely wanderer, a worldly explorer, a connoisseur of life. The word, hailing from 19th-century France, captures the idea that the mind functions best at a slow pace, and that curiosity can uncover a life of significance. This was the life that Founder, Marty Doerschlag lived between selling his first company and starting Flâneur Wines in 2013.
Flâneur Wines focuses primarily on Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Sparkling wines as well as some smaller bottlings of Pinot Meunier, Grüner Veltliner, Aligoté and Gamay from their two contrasting estate vineyards, La Belle Promenade Vineyard in the Chehalem Mountains AVA and Flânerie Vineyard in the Ribbon Ridge AVA. Both of which are organically dry farmed, in house. Their wines are unfined, unfiltered, native yeast fermented with a diverse use of barrels and a wide range of whole-cluster inclusion. In 2026, Flâneur’s 2021 Bon Vivant La Belle Promenade Chardonnay was named the number one Chardonnay in the U.S. and overall category winner in the 1976 Redo Competition in New York City.
Flâneur’s winery and hospitality space is located downtown Carlton in the thoughtfully restored Carlton Grain Elevator. In the summer months, guests are welcome to experience the unhurried life of the flaneur vineyard-side for a tasting in a rustic Blue Barn atop their La Belle Promenade Vineyard. Each space sets the scene for all that Flâneur embodies: a beautiful environment to enjoy exciting wines, paired with an unforgettable experience that slowly unfolds – just like each bottle of their wine. https://www.flaneurwines.com/. Flâneur Wines is located at 168 S Pine St. Carlton, OR, 97111.
