A note from our winemaker
Unique to Burgundy, the Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC) utilizes a classification system to evaluate vineyards according to grape quality. Grand Cru, Premier Cru, and Villages signify the quality hierarchies in Burgundy ensuring producers comply with exacting standards when labeling their products and that wines bearing the AOC designation possess unique qualities that offer consumers confidence in the wine's origins. This fall collection features a sampling of our new release 2021 Château de la Crée, Santenay ‘La Confrérie’ Pinot Noir. While also including our 2018 Château de la Crée, Santenay Premier Cru Gravières Chardonnay as a special library addition. We hope you enjoy these selections as much as we enjoyed selecting them. It has been an immense honor to own vineyards in this cherished area of the world. Since Ken and Grace Evenstad founded Domaine Serene in 1989, their inspiration has always come from the beloved Burgundy region with the goal of owning vineyards to craft and share the wine that ignited their passion. Due to the success of our Château de la Crée wines, we've ventured into the esteemed Côte de Nuits region, introducing the new label Domaine Evenstad, which we eagerly anticipate sharing with you in the years ahead. Thank you for being part of our winemaking journey as a valued wine club member. Cheers to the arrival of Fall and the pleasure of sharing our passion for exceptional wines with you!
