Not my favorite appellation, but I can appreciate the quality. Some orange and plum on the nose at this higher age, but still fairly fresh with flint, straw, and apricot on the palette. A bit of a warmer weather example than the Clast.

Like most Aubert Chards, it needs a bit of time, and some warmth. Cold is OK, cellar better, and room temp is where it starts to shine. Lemon zest and shiny of jasmine on the nose. Full bodied and a full mouthfeel, but may fade from here drinking in magnum mode, it is probably near its peak. Some hints of apricot and the start of a bit of vanilla or caramel as it is approaching 10 years. Good wine, but I prefer the CIX and Coast vines.

Super cool wine a bit of funk on the nose reminiscent of a Grenache well balanced acidity with just a hint of sweetness. Rock fruits on the palate and good mineral integration. Would be a great summer wine.
