Au Bon Climat Wild Boy Chardonnay, 12x75cl

🍷 Au Bon Climat ‘Wild Boy’ Chardonnay
United States | California | Santa Barbara County
Grapes: 100% Chardonnay
Style: Bold, Barrel-Fermented, Unapologetically Expressive

🇺🇸 A rebellious take on California Chardonnay—wildly flavourful, richly textured, and anything but ordinary.

👁 In the Glass:
Golden straw with flashes of green, hinting at freshness and oak influence.

👃 On the Nose:
Aromas of ripe Meyer lemon, grilled pineapple, and white peach are wrapped in toasty vanilla, cream, and a subtle smoky edge from barrel fermentation.

👅 On the Palate:
Full-bodied and mouth-filling with juicy citrus, baked apple and hints of hazelnut. The vibrant acidity lifts the rich texture, keeping the finish clean, long, and zesty.

🍽 Food Pairing:
Pairs beautifully with roast chicken, creamy pasta, grilled prawns or lobster rolls with lemon butter.

⏳ Ageing Potential:
Delicious now but will gain added layers of complexity over the next 3–6 years.

✨ Why You’ll Love It:
‘Wild Boy’ breaks the mold of traditional Chardonnay—bold yet balanced, playful yet polished. It’s a wine with attitude, personality, and plenty of charm.
