Great wine from the United States - Santa Maria, California

93/100 Parker

Age: 2024-2032

"While decidedly more practical in style than many contemporaries, it offers an alternative yet timeless perspective on this historic site through a sumptuous, harmonious, and ultimately enjoyable style. Rich, spicy aromas of cinnamon, macadamia nuts, and white chocolate foreshadow a rich, sumptuous, and decent palate that finishes with a delicious punch and incredible length, concluding with notes of salted caramel and toffee." Matthew Luczy

Au Bon Climat Chardonnay from Santa Barbara County perfectly embodies the balance between coastal freshness and Californian richness. This Chardonnay seduces with its aromatic finesse: notes of ripe lemon, juicy pear, and orange blossom, accompanied by subtle, mellow oak and a touch of toasted hazelnut. On the palate, the controlled barrel aging adds volume without weighing down the wine, allowing the expression of a beautiful mineral tension typical of the cool terroirs of Santa Barbara. An elegant and gastronomic cuvée, which has nothing to envy from the great Burgundy appellations, carefully selected by Comptoir des Millésimes for its purity and consistency vintage after vintage.
