Aubert Chardonnay Carneros 2022

95 Points, James Suckling

 This Carneros Chardonnay presents a captivating aromatic profile of ripe yellow apple, juicy pear, and a hint of crème brûlée, subtly woven with notes of toasted almond and a delicate touch of lemon zest. On the palate, it delivers a rich yet balanced experience, offering a creamy texture that carries flavors of baked apple pie, vanilla bean, and a refined touch of warm spice, all brightened by a streak of vibrant acidity. The finish is long and satisfying, leaving a harmonious impression of ripe fruit, elegant oak, and a subtle minerality.
