Aubert Wines Lauren Vineyard Chardonnay 2024, 750ml

The 2024 Aubert Lauren Estate Vineyard Sonoma Coast Chardonnay is the crown jewel of the estate, a masterclass in what Mark Aubert describes as weightless density. This premier estate vineyard, planted with a proprietary selection of four distinct clones, has produced a 2024 vintage that sashays out of the glass with showy notes of ripe apricots, Bosc pears, and Golden Delicious apples. Rated 99 points by The Wine Palate and 96-98 points by Antonio Galloni of Vinous, the wine is lauded for its refined and sensual nature, where a compellingly velvety texture is punctuated by exotic flickers of cardamom, white pepper, and a striking petrichor minerality.

A wine of this immense stature and phenolic structure will effortlessly develop further complexity well beyond 10 to 15 years with proper cellaring.
