Au Bon Climat Wild Boy Chardonnay

Au Bon Climat Wild Boy Chardonnay

A beautiful medium gold in colour with an intoxicating nose of ripe stone fruit, vanilla cream and a mere hint of toast from 11 months in François Frères French Oak. On the palate the wine is textured, rich and full bodied. A myriad of layered ripe fruit, baking spice with wonderfully integrated oak. Crisp, dry and with zippy acidity, this wine is unashamedly Californian with a discreet nod to Burgundy.

The grapes for Au Bon Climat Wild Boy Chardonnay are soured from both the warmer Santa Ynez Valley AVA and the cooler Santa Maria Valley AVA. This combination of terroirs and styles produces are more opulent, some say, hedonistic style.
