2017 Flâneur Wines Cuvée for a Cause
The Carlton, Ore., firm’s new Flâneur Wines new wine tasting and hospitality center is in a
rehabilitated, 125-year-old Grain Elevator.
To celebrate the opening of Flâneur Wines at the Carlton Grain Elevator, Flâneur will be offering 600 magnums of Pinot Noir from the 2017 vintage that they have fittingly named Cuvée for a Cause. One-third of the proceeds from the sale of this celebratory offering will be donated to Yamhill Carlton Together Cares, a local non-profit that provides opportunities for the youth and families of Yamhill County.
Destined to be a collector’s item, the 1.5L bottle retails for $150 and is 100% Pinot Noir from Flaneur’s La Belle Promenade & Flanerie Estate Vineyards in addition to the storied X-Novo Vineyard in Eola-Amity Hills. In total, the charitable donation will translate to upwards of $30,000 for the local charity.
The limited, magnum-only offering is outfitted with a replica of Carlton’s newest mural that adorns the south side of the future home of Flâneur Wines. Boasting the tagline Experience Art in Everyday Life, it was created as an homage to the mural that Ken Wright placed on the north side of the adjacent tower ten years prior. However, instead of paying tribute to Carlton’s past, this new mural focuses squarely on the future of Carlton and the surrounding high-quality winemaking region.
