Aubert, "Lauren Estate" Sonoma Coast Chardonnay 2021

2021

Chardonnay

Sonoma Coast, Sonoma County, California

"The 2021 Lauren is the highest expression of what is possible with heritage clones, site specificity, and vine age. The wine is beguiling in its complexity, unfurling in a wave of seductive aromas and textures. Concentrated lime and apricot oils bound from the glass alongside ripe heirloom apple and a complex mix of jasmine and lily florals. Lemongrass and cling peach continue to build across the palate to a harmonious crescendo. The wine is both rich and finessed, with palpable energy that radiates through its tightly woven structure. The wine will remain youthful and exuberant 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."  Mark Aubert's tasting notes
