Chardonnay 'Wild Boy' 2023, Au Bon Climat Whiskey This is a really impressiveThe late Jim Clendenen founded Au Bon Climat in 1982. He became famous for making pioneering wines from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay on Californias Central Coast. He passed away in 2021 and is remembered as one of the most charismatic and influential people of his vinous generation. The Wild Boy is a consistently delicious Chardonnay, plenty vibrant acidity but also richness and fullness that makes it so moreish and good to drink. We love it!
