Au Bon Climat | Latest Releases from the Star of Santa Barbara

Au Bon Climat, or ‘ABC’ as it is affectionately known, is the pioneer of California's coolest AVA, Santa Barbara. Their balanced, Burgundian style Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs are the some of the finest in the South-Central Coast. We are delighted to offer the estate’s new releases from the hugely successful 2020 and 2021 vintages, which includes a Pinot Gris, a Chardonnay and a raft of delicious Pinot Noirs. ABC's brilliant late Jim Clendenen was a hugely influential winemaker and a guiding light for the Santa Barbara County wine region. Jim elevated the quality of Burgundian varietals on the Central Coast and generated international recognition of Santa Barbara County as a world class wine region.
