Producer

Producer

The vineyards of Au Bon Climat extend across clay-limestone soils, offering excellent drainage and mineral richness. The climate, influenced by the Pacific Ocean, is tempered by sea breezes, allowing for slow and even ripening of the grapes. This characteristic is essential for developing the aromatic complexity of Pinot Noir. The vines, cultivated with care, benefit from sustainable practices that respect the local ecosystem while ensuring controlled yields.

Owner and history

With a handcrafted approach and a deep respect for nature, Jim has made this estate a leading name in California.

Vinification and aging

Winemaking at Domaine Au Bon Climat is a meticulous process, blending tradition and innovation. The grapes are harvested by hand and carefully sorted to guarantee their quality. After gentle crushing, fermentation takes place in open vats, promoting the extraction of aromas and color. The wine is then aged in oak barrels, refining its structure and imparting subtle notes of vanilla and spice. This care at every stage of winemaking is evident in the finesse and complexity of the 2020 Santa Barbara County Pinot Noir.
