Au Bon Climat Santa Barbara County Chardonnay

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.  The 2015 Santa Barbara County Chardonnay is a beautiful example of the Au Bon Climat style, This barrel fermented, full bodied Chardonnay has mouth filling citrus fruit and a palate cleansing, bright finish. It will become ever richer and more complex with age.
