Aubert Lauren Chardonnay 2022 is a full-bodied, single-vineyard white wine from the Carneros region of California. Aubert is a boutique Chardonnay and Pinot Noir estate that produces wine from single-vineyard sites in Napa Valley and Sonoma. Founded by husband-and-wife Mark and Teresa Aubert in 1999, it is regarded to be one of California’s cult wine labels. First produced in 2003, the Lauren Chardonnay is comprised of four distinct Chardonnay clones and is framed by Mark Aubert as "Sonoma Coast meets white Burgundy". Producer note. "The 2022 Lauren is intense and profound, with a kaleidoscopic array of aroma, flavour, and texture that morphs and expands in the glass. Fresh squeezed lime, honeycomb, beeswax, and a distinct crushed rock minerality erupt from the glass. The wine expands to reveal aromas of granny smith apple sorbetto and almond dacquoise alongside green cardamom and mango lassi. The wine is phenolic with an electric acid streak and natural gras only achievable with the old-vine heritage clone selections planted here. The intensity and energy of the wine will continue to crescendo for many years to come and will age with finesse and stature well beyond 10 years. The wine is slightly hazy showing our commitment to minimal intervention winemaking."

The 2022 Chardonnay Lauren Estate was tasted as a barrel sample. Wow — you could just smell this all day, notes of candied orange peel, lemon tart, lime zest, pink grapefruit, and ginger tea emanate from the glass with hints of baker's years, Marcona almonds, and crushed rocks. The full-bodied palate has beautiful tension and so much energy that it vibrates with citrus and mineral layers, finishing with long, lingering ginger and orange peel notes. Lauren Estate, named after Mark Aubert's daughter, is a vineyard planted to four different clones: two old Wente clones (Hyde and Hudson), Mt Eden, and Corton Charlemagne. There are 6 acres here, planted in 1999 on an ancient seabed.Lisa Perrotti-Brown24th September 2023

The 2022 Chardonnay Lauren is a deep, powerful wine. It is also the most tightly wound and compacted of these Chardonnays. That won't be an issue in a few years, but I would not be in any rush to open the 2022, as it very clearly needs time. Pear, ripe green apple and hints of jasmine linger.Antonio Galloni23rd May 2024

Sublime Pinot Noir and Chardonnay

Aubert was founded by Mark and Theresa Aubert in 2000, located on the famous Silverado trail in Calistoga. Before he and his partner opened Aubert, Mark had gained experience at the Peter Michael Winery and Colgin Cellars and also made wine at a 'custom crush' facility in California. Aubert have some proprietary vineyards, around three and half acres in Sonoma, which they bottle under the 'UV' label. The remainder of the fruit is sourced from selected vineyards across Sonoma and Napa.

In the world of wine, Aubert is really a byword for world-class single vineyard or single block Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The vineyards they source from represent a mix of terroirs and include some old vines as well as some recent plantings. What remains consistent through all these bottlings is the preservation of fruit character and an extreme obsession with quality.
