2024 · Domaine Serene 'Evenstad Reserve' Chardonnay

Domaine Serene is a family-owned Oregon estate founded by Grace and Ken Evenstad, who remain actively involved in vineyard and winery management. In the Willamette Valley, the estate farms seven dry-farmed, LIVE-certified vineyards planted to Pinot Noir and Chardonnay across varied Jory soils, elevations, exposures, and microclimates. Fruit is grown for low yields, hand-picked by block, and vinified in a gravity-flow winery with micro-cru fermentations and extended barrel aging. The style emphasizes terroir expression, complexity, and elegance. Since 2015, the Evenstads have also owned Château de la Crée in Burgundy, where organic and biodynamic methods are used, linking their Oregon roots with a historic Burgundian estate.
