Aubert
About Aubert
Raised in the Napa County city of St.Helena, proprietor and eponymous founder Mark Aubert is, like more than a few of the world’s great vignerons, a person with farming and terroir in his blood. The son of fruit farmers, Aubert’s sole foray out of his native Napa was to university, upon completion of which he eagerly returned to commence what has been an extraordinary life in wine. Having spent a fruitful career as winemaker at the famous Colgin Cellars as well as consulting for Sloan, FUTO and Bryant Family, Mark and his wife Teresa Aubert founded their namesake winery officially in 1999, releasing their first vintage in 2000.
In the handful of years through which they have been operating, the husband and wife team have crafted what are, quite simply, some of the finest Chardonnays ever made in Napa – no small claim by any means. A swathe of perfect 100 point scores from the world’s leading critics tell only part of the story – it is the striking depth, power and purity which have astonished oenophiles over the past vintages.

Vinous (98)One of the highlights in this range, the 2017 Chardonnay Lauren Vineyard is also the most gracious and lifted of Mark Aubert's Chardonnays. Lemon peel, white flowers, mint, chalk and white pepper give the wine lift and perfume. Delicate, understated and classy to the core, the Lauren has it all. The 2017 is a stunning wine. It's as simple as that. Don't miss it. |

Vinous (94-96)The 2021 Chardonnay Sugar Shack is a classic Mark Aubert wine. Creamy and ample in feel, the 2021 is super-expressive right out of the gate. Soft, silky contours frame lemon confit, white flowers, tangerine oil and lightly honeyed overtones that appear with aeration. All the elements are so well balanced. The Sugar Shack is one of the more immediate wines in this range and will drink well pretty much upon release. |

The Wine Independent (96-98+)The 2021 Chardonnay Powder House was tasted as a tank sample, due to be bottled in December 2022. It soars out of the glass with a gorgeous perfume of peach cobbler, apple blossoms, and honeydew melon, leading to suggestions of persimmons, quince, spice cake, and almond croissant with a waft of honeycomb. Full-bodied, the palate is so fragrant and graceful, with a fantastic seamlessness and silken texture, leading to amazing length and depth on the finish of this gorgeous wine. This vineyard, on Goldridge soils near downtown Forestville, was planted in 2013. There are basically 2 clones, Hyde and Mt Eden, on 420 A & 114 rootstocks, and the row direction is due north. |
