Aubert–US Benchmark for Chardonnay and Pinot Noir
Founded by Mark Aubert, a protégé of both Peter Michael and Helen Turley, the estate has redefined what’s possible for California Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Each release marries Burgundian elegance with unmistakable Sonoma and Napa power—a balance that only Aubert seems to achieve.
The Chardonnays—sourced from famed sites like Lauren, Ritchie, and Hudson Vineyards—are rich, textured, and explosively aromatic, yet always poised and mineral-driven. They rival Grand Cru Burgundy in complexity, with layers of citrus oil, white flowers, and hazelnut unfolding with each swirl.
The Pinot Noirs, from UV-SL, CIX, and UV Vineyard, are equally stunning: deeply hued, intensely perfumed, and seamlessly structured. They capture the purity of fruit and depth of terroir that define world-class Pinot Noir.
Production is limited, allocations are tight, and the secondary market reflects the cult demand these wines inspire. For those who appreciate the pinnacle of California winemaking, Aubert belongs in your cellar—and in your glass.

WA 97 (7/2024): Scents of toasted hazelnuts, crushed stone, pear and tangerine appear on the nose of the 2022 Chardonnay Eastside, from a chert-rich Windsor vineyard planted in 2006 to a Montrachet selection. It's full-bodied, generous and plush without being weighty, then intense and crisp on the lemon-lime finish, with echoes reminiscent of white pepper and ginger. Matured in 68% new heavy-toast French oak, it has absorbed those flavors admirably.
VM 96 (1/2024): The 2022 Chardonnay Eastside Vineyard is a complex, racy wine. Oily and viscous, with a touch of reduction, the Eastside is a wonderfully complex, layered wine. Lemon confit, white flowers, mint, ripe pear and a kiss of French oak abound. This is a stellar Chardonnay from Mark Aubert. Antonio Galloni. |

WA 95 (7/2024): The largest-production wine in the portfolio at approximately 2,300 cases, the 2022 Chardonnay UV-SL hints at powder-sugared brioche on the nose, backed by lemon-lime notes and some apple-ish fruit. From multiple rootstocks and clonal selections, it's full-bodied and expansive on the palate, generous, rich and long. Don't be fooled into thinking this is "just" the entry-level wine, it's serious stuff.
VM 95 (1/2024): The 2022 Chardonnay UV-SL Vineyard is a potent, driving wine. Readers should be in no rush, as the 2022 is quite reticent and in need of cellaring. Strong mineral and phenolic notes dominate, while everything else is in the background. Lemon confit, pear, ginger and white flowers open with some coaxing, but this needs time. The only question is how much. Antonio Galloni. |
