Aubert Lauren Chardonnay 2020

First produced in 2003, this is a fabulously concentrated and layered white wine. In the words of Mark Aubert, "The 2020 Lauren combines the prestige of the vineyard site with the purity of clonal expression. Remarkable aromatics of apple galette, shaved almond, and white peach interlace with compelling notes of sea air, crushed stone, and matcha green tea. The palate leads with a nectar of orchard fruits complemented by a beautifully balanced acidity. The vieilles vignes of this vineyard give the wine stunning persistence and concentration, which will enhance with extended cellaring. The wine is slightly hazy showing our commitment to minimal intervention winemaking."
