Au Bon Climat

The aromas contain cherry, berry notes with earth, spice, tea, smoke, and baked cheese Danish scents. It is complex and complete. The mouth is intense with red currant, sandalwood, tangerine rind, and lovely acidity. Jim thinks that this style of Pinot, though less complex and perfectly balanced than the ’01 Bauge, represents the future of his vineyards. Our direction is toward more exacting farming, yield control, meticulous canopy management, and no must adulteration after harvest. More flavor, less alcohol. Rather be wimpy than pruny. Heavy ain’t better – sweeter ain’t better. Black fruits aren’t in the Pinot family, nor is black color. Resist machines in winemaking, resent cellar manipulation, respect nature’s order.
