Château Lagrave Aubert

Aubert

Eastside Russian River Valley Chardonnay 2015

Improved over previous tasting 3 years ago.

Double decant and pour. A light cloudy gold color. On the nose: mellow notes of Lemon, tangerine, banana, nutmeg, grapefruit. Taste: A chalky-creamy, rich mouthfeel wine with pear, lemon rind, little stone fruit, white pepper, oak, and a tropical minerally wet stone medium plus finish.

I assume you acquired this via allocation direct from the winery?

x Yep, was on their allocation for around 8 years. My final vintage was the 2019. Great chardonnays though a little expensive. Cheers!

Ritchie Vineyard Chardonnay 2014

A beautiful, refined, bright, creamy wine. Tasting honeydew, white peach, butter, cashew, oak, and a hint of honey. Just what I would expect from Aubert (my favorite Chardonnays). — 3 months ago

Russian River Valley Chardonnay 2023

Obviously, not as nuanced and textured as the single vineyard bottlings, but no complaints from us. Less amplification, but still possess the Aubert signature on the mid palate. Roasted pineapples and lychees caress the palate. Great balance and acidity. — 2 months ago

Nice, but I detect this this is on it’s downward swing. Roasted pineapple combines with lychees. soft acidity and baking spices complete a nice presentation. probably better 2 years prior. — 2 months ago

@John Van Trijp, yes, I was a little surprised, too. Having said that, I’ve had very few underperforming bottles from Aubert.

@LM Segal, in general, U.S. whites or reds rarely posses the longevity of their Burgundy counterparts. I have a number of old Cali whites which I will road-test for S and G’s.

I see that I rated this wine in September 2022. I am sticking with that rating. A stunningly delicious wine. A nice Christmas Eve treat. — 3 days ago

UV-SL Vineyard Pinot Noir 2019

2019 vintage. Tasted 20 mins after opening. Medium heavy body. Some great complexities in the flavors along with an oppressive amount of concentration. Totally not my style for red Burg/Pinot but it apparently works for them and theirs. Deep Pinot In Rock. Hesher/heavy metal pinot. Let’s go space truckin c’mon. 9.1.24. — 4 months ago
