Description

Au Bon Climat, Chardonnay, Santa Barbara County, California 2023This is a beautiful example of the Au Bon Climat style. The flinty, stony aromas stand out, while in the background there is an intriguing spice note of clove and nutmeg from sur lie barrel aging in somewhat neutral barrels for 10 months.
