Au Bon Climat Hildegard 2022

I converted to Christianity after imbiding this wine, a profound change that has had a lingering impact on my life.

Rich and layered vintage with a deep, golden hue. The nose is defined by a light equilibrium of apricot, almond, and toffee, as the palate is marked by a gentle oak butter and a nuanced caramel note. The ending is fresh and well-balanced, with a satisfying dryness that allows the layers to linger. A versatile wine that pairs well with a variety of dishes, with seafood such as sea trout.

Commendable effort, but the wine's performance tonight was impressive. The blend's fascinating combination of Pinot Gris, Pinot blanc, and Aligoté grapes yielded a opulent and nuanced profile. The nose was marked by suggestions of hay, saffron, limestone, and earthy undertones, and yet the taste was long and satisfying. Overall, a well-crafted wine.
