Au Bon Climat

Central Coast’s balance of old and new

Au Bon Climat was founded by the late Jim Clendenen in 1982, a time when much of the Californian wine focus was on Napa and Sonoma. Having spent time in Burgundy, Clendenen, affectionately known as the ‘Wild Boy’, was convinced of the potential of the cool Central Coast to produce great wines from Burgundian varieties. Clendenen sadly died in 2021, but Au Bon Climat continues to produce hugely popular Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs from a variety of Central Coast sites, primarily in Santa Barbara County.
