| Community Tasting Notes (average 95.7 pts. and median of 96 pts. in 16 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Cali Fan on 4/4/2024 & rated 95 points: Wet stones and golden fruit. Needs a little time to fully get there. (1370 views) | | | Tasted by emiliosandoz on 11/22/2023 & rated 100 points: Best chard ever? Astonishingly good. (2396 views) | | | Tasted by ews3 on 9/3/2023 & rated 94 points: Delicious. Bread, floral notes, and red apple on nose. Full bodied, this definitely saw some oak :-). But — the fruit shows through on the palate which shows balance and a magnificent finish. Not the best Lauren, but still so so good.
Drank with sous vide King Salmon (2681 views) | | | Tasted by Jhalpern27 on 5/2/2023 & rated 94 points: Always a great wine, Lauren is probably my favorite of the Aubert lineup. This did not disappoint (3331 views) | | | Tasted by Montesquieu on 3/1/2023 & rated 96 points: Tasted head-to-head against Mount Mary Chardonnay from Australia. No comparison. The beautiful toasted brioche and minerality of the Aubert easily won out for all. Still improving after 1.5 hours and then gone. Might have rated higher with longer decant. Be sure to smell as much as you taste, because the aroma is oh so wonderful. (3318 views) | | | Tasted by Plabella on 1/21/2023 & rated 99 points: what can you say about Mark Aubert's Lauren estate wine other than this is the best Chard made in CA and on par with the best in Burgundy. (3092 views) | | | Tasted by tomoem on 1/10/2023 & rated 96 points: An awesome expression of a classically inspired Chardonnay. Predominant lemon zest but with virtually no acidic counter reaction or tartness. Nose is more barrel wood than fruit. The in mouth expression is lemon but with an ....oh so balanced acidity. The flavors at mid pallete move onto slight tangerine, wet copy paper, slight vanilla and almond nut. The finish is so long. I am still tasting this after 1 minute.
One of the greatest Aubert Lauren's I have had. (2728 views) | | | Tasted by huevosconvino on 10/25/2022 & rated 97 points: Opened and left standing and chilling for two hours before tasting (Zalto-style Chardonnay glass). In a terrific place right now: Rich flavors of yellow plum, white tea, oak, and lemon. Impressive depth. A classic. (3321 views) | | | Tasted by huevosconvino on 9/26/2022: Decanted for an hour and chilled to about 50 degrees F. Lots of lemon pulp and zest, focused acidity, sweet/sour mouthfeel. I recommend a two-hour decant right now: This wine needs time. And then, it's really worth your time...so complex and fun to enjoy over a couple of hours! (2880 views) | | | Tasted by huevosconvino on 7/28/2022 & rated 97 points: A fascinating, lovely wine. Needs about 2-3 hours to open up right now, and then there's creamy white fruits, vanilla, zesty yellow and green citrus, and a rich oak backbone with strong acidity. A terrific vintage for Lauren! (2918 views) | | | Tasted by Harry Cantrell on 6/23/2022 & rated 92 points: Pale yellow. Nose initially reminded me of Sauvignon Blanc. It opened somewhat to vanilla and citrus. Taste was all that and more. Lovely mouth, closed/shy nose. Still a little lacking. But good. (2940 views) | | | Tasted by Harry Cantrell on 4/28/2022 & rated 90 points: Yellow with greenish edge. Nose is oak, fruits hidden. Taste is vanilla and other oak tastes. Let it age a few years minimum. Lowest I’ve scored a Lauren, but expect it to open with time. (3377 views) |

| Aubert Producer websiteChardonnay The Chardonnay GrapeUSAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.California2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson Sonoma CountyMendocino CountySonoma Coast * Sonoma Coast AVA (Wikipedia)
