The Estate

We have made this wine since 1982 and it is still one of the best values available. Santa Barbara County has the climate and terroir to allow Au Bon Climat to consistently make balanced and lively wines. This wine keeps on evolving from delicious and fresh at release, to a richer more complex wine with age. At the winery, we routinely drink the Santa Barbara County Chardonnays from the late 1990s to early 2000s with special visitors to their delight.

Wine Making

Throughout September and October, the fruit is handpicked and sorted in the vineyard, then whole cluster pressed. The juice is quickly settled, chilled, and transferred to barrels for fermentation and malo-lactic fermentation.

Food Suggestions

Pairs well with lighter dishes such as sea bass and citrus glaze, roast chicken, or a butternut squash risotto.
