AU BON CLIMAT Chardonnay, Bien Nacido Vineyard 2015

The 2015 Bien Nacido Vineyard Chardonnay from Au Bon Climat is absolutely superb. Jim Clendenen has been producing wine from Bien Nacido for almost 40 years and has a lifetime contract with the vineyard. This Chardonnay was hand harvested and whole cluster pressed, then barrel fermented in 100% new french oak. It offers inviting aromas of ripe apple, citrus peel, buttered almond, fresh white flowers, fresh herbs, vanilla, and well integrated oak. Extreamly delicious with a gorgeous creamy texture and lovely back end acidity. Enjoy this beauty over the next decade.
