The Au Bon Climat Chardonnay Santa Barbara 2024 is a restrained, food-friendly, Old World-style California white wine featuring bright citrus, green apple, and subtle floral notes balanced by gentle French oak. Crafted in a classic, Burgundian-leaning style that emphasizes freshness, mineral nuance, and balance over heavy ripeness or oak. Expect crisp notes of green apple, bright citrus, white peach, and hints of floral blossom, complemented by subtle touches of toast or almond from barrel aging. Grapes are sourced from cool-climate Santa Barbara vineyards like Bien Nacido and Los Alamos, utilizing whole-cluster pressing and aging in neutral French oak barrels.
