LOIRE VALLEY
The Loire Valley is France’s greatest source of value for anyone looking for elegant, terroir-driven wines. Our collection celebrates the region’s great diversity, with the mineral-driven whites of Muscadet and Sancerre, the beautiful Chenin Blancs and Cabernet Francs from villages like Vouvray and Chinon, and natural wines from everywhere in the region. Sometimes wonderfully fresh and gulpable, sometimes serious and age-worthy, the prices are always very reasonable.
Core producers
Le Rocher des Violettes (Xavier Weisskopf), VdF Chenin Blanc, 2020
Xavier Weisskopf's Rocher de Violettes is located in Montlouis-sur-Loire, an appellation that was perhaps overshadowed by Vouvray, its more famous neighbor but has recently come into its own right as source of extraordinary Chenin Blanc. This is a beautiful, classic Chenin, with notes of ripe orchard fruit, dry honey and white flowers. Bone dry and refreshing, it's an ideal match for poultry or seafood, or simply enjoying on its own.

stayed away from bordeaux for awhile, but this welcomed me back with velvety goodness.
No Syrah!
Oskar was super knowledgeable and interesting. The wines were from a great range and I liked that we could drink at our leisure and enjoy them as he spoke. Having Katya there was a bonus! Love these Flatiron tasting events.

Truly incredible under the radar Champagne from a lesser known grower. I've seen this producer in my travels abroad and had the opportunity to try it last year when I was in Paris so when I saw it at my local shop and for a great price, I jumped at it. Don't sleep on this one.
This wine nearly packs the density of a full Barolo. Give it some bottle age and you will be pleased with the end results!
Haven’t tried it yet, but will this weekend in Washington DC with Family to accompany Chopped Salad w/Red Wine Viniagrette, Sheet Pan Roasted Chicken with Sweet onions and Garlic cloves from my garden, Mushroom Risotto, and fresh Roasted Carrots also from my garden. For Dessert Apple Crisp, w/Vanilla Ice Cream. To drink…Clos de la Roillet Fleurie 1.5 L., just Visited your store for the first time last Saturday while visiting the city and loved it. Look forward to my next visit
It fun and informative!

Purchased this as a thank you for a friend. She loved it! Joe was very accommodating and made sure the order went smoothly from start to finish!
Nerello Mascalese at its best. Burgundian in appearance and body with notes of cranberry and cherry on the nose. Best a day or two after opening.
A wine I never would have known or paid much attention to had it not been for Flatiron. Don’t be fooled by how light the wine is when you see it hit your glass. There is surprising body to this Italian red. Definitely a new fave that I will be savoring over the coming months.
