Expert Reviews
The 2023 Chardonnay Sanford & Benedict Vineyard is a highlight in the Au Bon Climat roster, beautifully representing both the powerful house style and the integrity of the site. It opens with a relatively restrained bouquet, gradually unfolding flinty, spice-driven aromas accented with tropical citrus and a sense of oceanic lift. The palate fuses a flashy, decadent power with a tense, focused core, releasing into a gently saturated and multidimensional finish. As is typical for this cuvée, it matured in larger 350-liter barrels to better retain energy and drive, which is certainly the case here.
