“This new 2018 vintage release from Au Bon Climat will impress all Chardonnay fans – from the Burgundy fan in pursuit of balanced Chardonnays to the classic California fan who wants a bit of opulence with the pure fruit of this striking white wine! “Beautiful notes of beeswax, orange blossom and crisp orchard apples, coated with an elegant integration of neutral oak and the perfect amount of acidity to keep the finish lively and layered. Balanced doesn’t even begin to describe how finessed this Chardonnay feels on the palate. Purely and brilliantly crafted, a lovely representation and fantastic sense of place. This is a definite BEST VALUE & an absolute stunner from Santa Barbara! Enjoy this flavorful, finesse-styled Chardonnay over the next 4-5 years.”
