A note from our winemaker

This Spring, we're celebrating the essence of the Côte de Beaune with our curated collection, showcasing its diversity and excellence across Santenay, Pommard, Savigny-Lès-Beaune, and Maranges. Despite challenges in the 2021 vintage, our winemaking team selected the finest fruit for this shipment, offering wines that truly reflect the region's soul. 

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. 

Thank you for being part of our journey. Here's to spring and sharing our passion for exceptional wines! Cheers!

SANTENAY

Nestled at the southern end of the Côte de Beaune, Santenay wines beautifully balance a fresh, fruity character with a distinct mineral quality. The rugged high grounds, reaching an impressive altitude of 500 meters, boast captivating greyish limestones as their signature. Further down the slope, around the 300-meter line, you'll encounter a captivating medley of oolitic limestones, white oolite, marls, kidney-shaped limestones, and lower oolite lovingly layered upon marl. These exceptional geological features create an ideal haven for vineyards, blessed with gentle exposures between the soothing East and vibrant South. What sets Santenay apart from other regions is its ability to maintain its unmistakable mineral notes even at higher levels of ripeness. This makes the wines of Santenay exceptional in their ability to balance ripeness with the unique terroir characteristics, resulting in wines that are both refined and full of personality.

POMMARD WINES

These wines, carefully curated for the Fraternité de la Crée membership, are exclusive to your Spring shipment.

POMMARD

Immerse yourself in the rich history of Pommard, a wine that held the title of Burgundy's finest even in the Middle Ages. It was the standard by which all other wines were measured, an emblem of excellence that continues to captivate connoisseurs. Pommard became one of the early trailblazers in obtaining the esteemed AOC designation back in 1936, sealing its reputation as an unparalleled red wine created solely from the venerable Pinot Noir grape. As you journey through the vineyards, you'll discover a fascinating diversity of soils. The lower grounds reveal ancient alluvium, anchoring the roots of the vines. Mid-slope, clay-limestone soils provide excellent drainage, enhanced by scattered rock debris. Ascending further, you'll encounter Jurassic marls, accompanied by brown calcic soils and limestone formations. Our Pommard vineyards benefit from an ideal exposure to the generous rays of the sun, gifting the grapes with unparalleled ripeness and complexity. The altitudes, ranging from 250 to 330 meters, create an idyllic sanctuary for the flourishing vines.

SAVIGNY-LÈS-BEAUNE WINES

These wines, carefully curated for the Fraternité de la Crée membership, are exclusive to your Spring shipment.

The Land

SAVIGNY-LÈS-BEAUNE

Located between the Hill of Corton and Beaune, the vineyards in this region boast a storied past. The presence of a grand 14th-century castle attests to the appellation's noble heritage. Officially designated as an AOC in 1937, the vineyards span an altitude range of 250 to 400 meters, making this a desirable area for us to create a Maison Evenstad wine. The lower slopes showcase alluvial soils sourced from the Rhoin river, while the terrain higher up reflects the geology of the Hill of Corton, characterized by gravelly soils and oolitic ironstone. Moving down the slope, the red-brown limestone transitions into clayey and pebbly compositions. On the opposite side facing East, the limestone soils harbor traces of sand.

MARANGES WINES

These wines, carefully curated for the Fraternité de la Crée membership, are exclusive to your Spring shipment.

MARANGES

Maranges is a wine-producing commune situated in the southernmost part of the Côte de Beaune in Burgundy. Though this area is more well known for its medium-bodied Pinot Noir, we have purposefully planted and crafted this special Chardonnay in small quantities. The appellation of Maranges is highly regarded for its consistently good and ripe wines, reflecting the expertise and skill of our growers benefitting from the meticulous care and organic farming practices we employ.
