The 2009 Chardonnay Clos de Soleil displays a perfume of minerals, poached pear, and melon. In the glass it opens to reveal a supple texture, spicy flavors, good depth and balance, and a medium-long finish. Domaine Serene’s Chardonnays are outstanding and fairly priced for what they deliver. They are all made entirely from Dijon clones, barrel-fermented, and aged on the lees.Tel.
