  • Product Info

    A refined expression of California Chardonnay, Au Bon Climat Santa Barbara County showcases the elegance, balance, and Burgundian sensibility that have made winemaker Jim Clendenen a legend in American winemaking. Since 1982, Au Bon Climat has championed a restrained, terroir-driven approach to Chardonnay, crafting wines of exceptional purity and age-worthiness that stand among California's finest.

    Tasting Notes:

    • Appearance: Pale gold with brilliant clarity
    • Nose: Elegant and complex with aromas of white peach, green apple, and citrus blossom, layered with notes of hazelnut, brioche, wet stone, and subtle oak
    • Palate: Medium-bodied with vibrant acidity; flavors of lemon zest, pear, and stone fruit balanced by a creamy texture, mineral undertones, and restrained oak influence
    • Finish: Long, precise, and refreshing with lingering notes of citrus, almond, and a chalky minerality

    Vineyard & Winemaking:
    Crafted from Chardonnay sourced from select vineyards across Santa Barbara County, where cool maritime influences and diverse soils create ideal conditions for elegant, terroir-driven wines. The wine is fermented with native yeasts and aged in French oak barrels (minimal new oak) to develop complexity while preserving the fresh fruit character and natural acidity that define the Au Bon Climat style.

    Perfect Pairings:
    Beautiful with grilled halibut, roasted chicken, lobster risotto, fresh oysters, or creamy cheeses. This wine will evolve gracefully over 5-8 years, revealing greater depth and complexity.

    Au Bon Climat Chardonnay 2023 is a wine of elegance and restraint—California Chardonnay with a Burgundian soul.
