Founded in 1982 by Jim Clendenen and Adam Tolmach, Au Bon Climat helped put Santa Barbara County on the world wine map. Located at the foot of the famed Bien Nacido Vineyard in the cool-climate Santa Maria Valley, the winery is renowned for its elegant, Burgundian-style Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The 2023 vintage showcases bright acidity and finesse, with aromas of citron, apple blossom, and chamomile, and flavors of grapefruit and a touch of bakers yeast. Made with hand-picked fruit, fermented in French oak, and crafted with restraint, these wines reflect the cool soils, coastal influence, and timeless vision behind a good place.
