  Absurdly good wine.
  
  Had at a tasting dinner with my husband. Mostly seafood options (scallops, escargot, tuna, etc) and other than the escargot - it paired perfectly with everything. It was definitely the best paired with the tuna, but all the others were lovely.
  
  The wine is still young (which I normally wouldn’t say regarding a Chardonnay), but Aubert is one of those wines that seems to be lovely at any point of its life.
  
  Tropical fruits (melon stood out the most for me, but my husband didn’t get that at all), orange zest, and a hint of floral. Perfect acidity and balance.
  ?
  Didn’t decant. Kept at cellar temp (55) until we opened at dinner then it stayed cool in a chiller bucket.

  Brought to a ‘raid your cellar’ dinner event. What a fantastic wine. The nose was bright with fresh stone fruit and some floral. The palate was more tropical with some light toast flavors to it. This was really an amazing wine that is drinking so beautifully right now, but I think could have a few more years.
