Description
A lively nose of green apple, citrus blossom, and ripe peach, with a touch of wet stone. On the palate, it’s fresh and vibrant, with zesty acidity framing flavours of lemon, green pear, and a hint of tropical fruit. The texture is lean and crisp, with a clean, mineral-driven finish. Unfettered by oak, this Chardonnay is bright, expressive, and ideal for those seeking a more natural, fruit-forward style. 13.5%abv

*****
Jim Clendenen, the “Mind Behind” Au Bon Climat, creates internationally recognized, Burgundian-focused wines of balance and intrigue – but in California. Au Bon Climat has been making balanced, food friendly Chardonnays since 1982. Even in the early 2000s when ripe, oaky Chardonnays were all the rage, Au Bon Climat stuck to a more subtle and refined style, with minerality and intensity well balanced.
