In the right climate
Le domaine Au Bon Climat, situé en Californie, est une référence incontournable pour les amateurs de vins inspirés de la Bourgogne. Fondé en 1982 par Jim Clendenen, ce domaine s'est rapidement imposé grâce à son approche axée sur l'élégance, la finesse et le respect du terroir.
Implanté dans la région viticole de Santa Barbara, le domaine bénéficie d’un climat frais influencé par l’océan Pacifique, idéal pour la culture du Pinot Noir et du Chardonnay. Les vignes sont travaillées avec soin, en privilégiant des méthodes de viticulture durable pour obtenir des raisins d'une qualité exceptionnelle.
Les vins d’Au Bon Climat sont connus pour leur équilibre parfait entre fraîcheur et complexité. Les Chardonnays offrent des notes subtiles de fruits blancs, de noisette et une belle minéralité, tandis que les Pinots Noirs séduisent par leurs arômes de cerise, d’épices et leur texture soyeuse. Le domaine produit également des cuvées en assemblage, mettant en valeur d'autres cépages tels que l'Aligoté ou le Pinot Gris.
What does the name organize mean?
This can be so diverse depending on the personality of their sire, that it is easier to define what it is not. An author wine is anything but a standard, stereotypical wine, made to please as many people as possible. It is therefore rarely produced in millions of copies, copying itself from vintage in vintage.
An author wine is therefore a wine that does not look like that of the neighbor. Which from year to year will evolve according to the vagaries of the weather and the mood of the author - the two that can be linked. Because the author does not rely on market studies to carry out his boat. He makes his wine as he feels, as he likes, as he can, sometimes ... and too bad if he does not please everyone.
This is why author wines are sometimes classified as "table wine" or "France wine". Because the winemaker did not plan the authorized grape variety*, makes the assembly or vinification recommended in the name **. He is often a bit rebellious, our author. But that is why we like it! ... That said, author's wines are not systematically marginal: they are present in most of the appellations, and can be part of the elite of these this***. Because they are not content to have personality: they are good, in addition! With in general aDegree of TorchabilityVery high: we never tire of it at the end of the first sip.
As author's wines are not chaptalized, levied, hacked ... They can have very different profiles depending on the vintage. It is up to us (resellers and consumers) to accept them as they are, and to remain faithful to the producers, because they need us to continue their activity.
