About this wine

The 2023 Santa Barbara County Chardonnay is a classic snapshot of Au Bon Climat’s house style: moderate alcohol, bright acidity and subtle, old-world oak. Sourced from several cool sites in Santa Barbara County, it shows ripe citrus, baked apple and stone fruit notes alongside hints of hazelnut, buttered toast and chalk. On the palate it is medium-bodied, fresh and nicely textured, with good depth for the level and a clean, food-friendly finish.

Tasting Note

Galloni describes this wine as aromatic and fruit-driven, with citrus and orchard fruit, a touch of tropicality, lively acidity and a mineral-driven, finely oaked finish that overdelivers for its category.

In the glass

Clear lemon-straw.

In the nose

Lemon, baked apple and peach with hints of toasted nuts and cream.

On the palate

Medium-bodied and fresh, with citrus and apple, gentle oak spice and a clean, saline finish.

Au bon climat

Au Bon Climat, founded by Jim Clendenen, is a pioneer of Burgundy-inspired Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from California’s Central Coast. The style favours moderate ripeness, freshness and complexity over blockbuster power, with careful oak and long aging. These are classically shaped, food-friendly wines that age beautifully.
