Au Bon Climat Chardonnay Nuits-Blanches Au Bouge 2015

A beautifully balanced Chard. Lovely aromas of apricot, lavender and caramel ebb into bright flavors of lemon/lime, and a fresh, spicy finish with vanilla, clove and honeydew melon. The richness and texture are increasing in the bottle.

Rich aromas of sandalwood, cinnamon, brioche French toast, vanilla and nutmeg make for a lush and attention-grabbing entry to this bottling. There's great cohesion of those spices on the palate, alongside a bright lemony streak that cuts through the white peach and Marcona almond flavors.
