Trousse Chemise Chardonnay Willamette Valley 2018

Trousse Chemise winemaker Anne Sery did it again- her 2018 Chardonnay is a winner. Sourced from the ancient marine soils in the Yamhill-Carlton and McMinniville AVAs, the growing conditions there produce wine that leans to more old world flavors; stone fruit and white flowers with a mineral streak a mile long.

Her third vintage of Chardonnay is spectacular, rich but laser-focused and long on the palate. Long hang time allows for great aromatic complexity, the wine is redolent of white fruits, vanilla, anise and a touch of new oak. It’s loaded with fruit and the finish is long, mineral with a hint of saline. In the restaurant, we will pair this high-toned, electric Chard with scallops, flaky white fish, and roasted poultry, I suggest you do the same!
