I loved the great, late Jim Clendenen's Au Bon Climat burgundy-aping wines and this own-label bottling for Berry bros is a delightful sip, bursting with brilliant, bright, zingy red cherry fruit.

Jane MacQuitty, The Times (November 2023)

We are delighted to work once again with the brilliant team at Au Bon Climat on this delicious Californian Pinot Noir. Coming from the often fog-covered hills of Santa Barbara, Au Bon Climat's wines always have a freshness and elegance to offset their ripe fruit flavours. This wine is no exception and is a wonderful introduction to the vinous treasures this fabled estate produces.

Tasting note

Fresh red morello cherries dominate the nose, supported by strawberries and a lift of musky perfume. The wine is generous and ripe, with an enticing clove-and-cinnamon spice character; it feels relaxed and gentle. Fine tannins leave a very slight grip on the long, pure, and refreshing finish. It is a perfect match with fish dishes or to accompany poultry, pork, or pungent cheeses.
