Aubert Chardonnay CIX 2017  - First Bottle

Reviews

99 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate -
Planted in 2008 to Montrachet clone, the 2017 Chardonnay CIX Estate is so delightfully savory, you could make a whole meal of it! It opens with bags of praline, pain grille, allspice and dill seed notions over a core of baked apples, pear tart, aniseed and lime leaves plus a touch of sea spray. Full-bodied, the palate has fantastic texture with a little chewy grip countering the slight oiliness and supporting the savory layers beautifully, finishing long and refreshing. Man, I just personally love the style of this wine!
97 Vinous -
The Chardonnay CIX Vineyard is yet another positively brilliant wine in this line up of 2017 Chardonnays from Mark Auber. Lemon oil, tangerine, dried flowers, chamomile and lightly honeyed notes all meld together in a rich, ample wine endowed with tremendous purity and textural depth. Tropical overtones add further shades of nuance. In a word: stunning.

Too late, we are SOLD OUT!

Marcassin. Peter Michael. And of course, Aubert. Mark is the quiet master of the craft (I’ve only met him once) and his wines are beloved. We happened into a very fine parcel of these highly-rated, highly-sought-after gems -- special occasion Chardonnay of the highest level.

The ‘17 CIX (“109” which stands for the old name of this block of the estate vineyard) is another masterpiece, but honestly the wines are all so fine, it’s really splitting hairs! Check out this parcel and prepare yourself!

As always, free shipping on 6 or more bottles of anything! While they last!
