Community Tasting Note

learningandenjoying Likes this wine:

Tuesday, April 9, 2024 - G5; 4*+9+4.5+8.5*+9+4.5*+4.5=94+ Riedel Performance Chardonnay glasses at cellar temp and warming. Do NOT drink cold! Pretty much pop, pour, drink. Pale yellow-gold color with nice clarity, but not necessarily "brightness." Strong aromatics typical of Aubert with ripe orchard fruits and "kerosene/petrol" notes. Mouthfeel is smooth, crisp with an alcohol/acid close. Flavors are certainly in the pear, apple, peach orchard with that consistent petrol finish, which is not distracting and is probably best described in some other manner (tropical/ pineapple/ butterscotch/ tangerine combo?). It is all there. Add just a touch of Corton Charlemagne minerality for a very balanced profile. Finish is long (of course) with no bad notes coming or going. This is a well-balanced, well-made wine that is drinking quite well now, but there is no reason to assume it won't last many years.
