Côte Sud

2006 Willamette Valley Chardonnay

Domaine Serene Côte Sud from the 2006 vintage is a remarkable expression of Chardonnay hailing from the esteemed Willamette Valley. This wine showcases a full-bodied character complemented by a high acidity that invigorates the palate with its vibrant and mouthwatering freshness. The fruit intensity is prominent, offering captivating notes of ripe stone fruits, such as apricot and peach, alongside subtle hints of citrus and a touch of creamy oak. The wine is drier than one might expect, allowing the natural flavors to shine through without overwhelming sweetness. With its balanced structure and firm yet refined tannins, the Domaine Serene Côte Sud is a delightful choice for any wine enthusiast seeking a sophisticated and enjoyable experience.

Willamette Valley

The Willamette Valley is understandably most often associated with Pinot Noir. The cool-climate region has a unique relationship to this most delicate (and temperamental!) red wine grape. Lying on the same latitude as Burgundy in France, the Willamette Valley enjoys the perfect balance of sunshine and rain, proximity to the Pacific Ocean and protection on either side by the Coast Range and the Cascade Mountains. Along its 100 miles, the Willamette Valley boasts many distinct terroirs, so among its many brightly fruity, elegantly structured and blissfully fragrant Pinots, you'll also find exceptional Pinot Gris, Chardonnay and Riesling.
