Au Bon Climat 'Le Bauges Aux Dessus' Pinot Noir - Single Bottle 1 of 1

Au Bon Climat 'Le Bauges Aux Dessus' Pinot Noir - Single Bottle

Product code: 00340298

Sorry, this item is no longer available

A layered Pinot Noir bursting with black cherry, smoky bramble fruit and tea aromas over an intense redcurrant-and-spice palate.

As befits their Burgundian ambitions, Au Bon Climat called this wine Le Bauges Aux Dessus, which translates as ‘the decadent party up above’. The name refers to their vines lying at the highest point of the Bien Nacido vineyards in California’s Santa Maria Valley. This cool climate area is renowned for its Burgundian and Rhône style wines, of which this Pinot is a fine example. Winemaker Jim Clendenen paid particular attention to grape selection, then used a considerably light touch in the winery to extract all the fruit’s clarity and freshness. Lengthy ageing in oak barrels especially shipped from Burgundy helped enrich and add complexity to the wine.
