The 2014 Domaine Serene 'Côte Sud' Chardonnay is another fantastic showing from this estate. The wine was aged for 15 months in 36% new French oak prior to bottling in March 2016. This opens with a bouquet of pineapple, banana, Pink Lady apple and suggestions of butterscotch with nutmeg. The palate is plush and layered with exotic flavors of red delicious apple, nectarine, vanilla cream and hints of dried mango. This is exceedingly difficult to resist right now with the wonderful combination of lithe minerality and concentrated fruit. (Best 2016-2025) - November, 2016 (OB)
