The Au Bon Climat Pinot Gris/Pinot Blanc is a versatile wine. It is light and refreshing making it a good choice for an aperitif yet it has enough body and intensity to go with food as well. The minerality and acidity make this a great wine for shellfish of any kind but it is also delightful with roast chicken, turkey or pastas with a light béchamel sauce. The aromas are salty, mineral with a lemon-lime note. In the mouth, the wine is rich and textural, from the time spent on lees in the barrel.

Au Bon Climat winery is totally devoted to making classic, Burgundian-styled Chardonnay and Pinot Noir in Santa Barbara County. The convergence of cool, brisk Pacific air, marine-based soils, and east-west running valleys of the area provided an ideal place for growing exceptional grapes. Hence the name 'Au Bon Climat,' the French idiom for 'good place.'

Forty years later, the wines have earned a world-class reputation internationally. Jim Clendenen, 'The Mind Behind' Au Bon Climat, set the objective and stayed true to its course. As the fads in California winemaking have come and gone, Au Bon Climat has maintained a laser focus in producing traditional, site-specific, nuanced, iconic wines.
