2015 Domaine Serene Chardonnay Côte Sud Vineyard

Light yellow-gold. Pungent pear and honeydew qualities on the nose; floral, ginger, vanilla and smoky mineral nuances add complexity. Juicy, seamless and well-concentrated, offering lush orchard and pit fruit, melon and honey flavors that flesh out and become spicier with aeration. The mineral and floral qualities drive an impressively persistent, seamless finish that features lingering smokiness and a strong pear nectar quality. 43% new French oak.
