The wine presents bright red fruit typical of the Central Coast, alongside intricate layers of candied cranberry, white pepper and jasmine. As it develops, earthy undertones of moss and nutmeg emerge. The palate is supported by a firm tannin structure and lively acidity.","brand":"Au Bon Climat","offers":[{"title":"Duty Paid","offer_id":62428414411082,"sku":"HED42708","price":70.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/7696\/2634\/files\/HED42708.jpg?v=1781914399"},{"product_id":"au-bon-climat-k-block-bien-nacido-chardonnay-2019","title":"Au Bon Climat K Block Bien Nacido Chardonnay 2019","description":null,"brand":"Au Bon Climat","offers":[{"title":"Duty Paid","offer_id":62428968812874,"sku":"HED14130","price":65.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/7696\/2634\/files\/HED14130.jpg?v=1781916442"},{"product_id":"au-bon-climat-hildegard-2021","title":"Au Bon Climat Hildegard 2021","description":"The Au Bon Climat Hildegard 2021 is blend of Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc and Aligoté. This Burgundian-style blend – intended to reflect the original grapes planted in the Corton-Charlemagne vineyard in the 9th century, spent 24 months maturing in new Francois Freres French oak barrels. Au Bon Climat was founded by the late Jim Clendenen in 1982 and continues to produce hugely popular Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs from a variety of sites around California’s Central Coast. The wines of ABC, from the most accessible Classics series to the long-aged Blue series, seem to find a perfect balance between Old World restraint and New World approachability.","brand":"Au Bon Climat","offers":[{"title":"Duty Paid","offer_id":62429286433098,"sku":"HED28084","price":42.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/7696\/2634\/files\/HED28084.jpg?v=1781917574"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/7696\/2634\/collections\/14-Bob-Lindquist-Jim-Clendenen-early-1990s-print_76b204c1-9a71-4188-ab14-501d8f6d863d.jpg?v=1782311948","url":"https:\/\/hedonism.co.uk\/collections\/au-bon-climat-wines.oembed","provider":"Hedonism Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
