title: Au Bon Climat 2013 Nuits-Blanches au Bouge Chardonnay (Santa Maria Valley)
description: Candied lemon peel, Asian pear and marzipan hints show on the slightly oxidative nose of this bottling from Jim Clendenen. Ripe apple and pear flavors mark the palate, along with a warm toast component, but a Meyer lemon tang and bitter orange accents cut the richness.
variety: Chardonnay
designation: Nuits-Blanches au Bouge
