2024 Aubert - Chardonnay Sonoma Coast Powder House Estate (750ml)
The 2024 Aubert Chardonnay from Powder House Vineyard on the Sonoma Coast captures Mark Aubert’s three-decade focus on Chardonnay. Planted on a hilly site with distinctive powdery Goldridge soils, the vineyard hosts one of Aubert’s rare Chardonnay clones, a combination that lends notable minerality and complexity to the wine. Aubert’s philosophy—meticulous vineyard work and minimal cellar intervention—lets the site’s ancient seabed origins express themselves fully in the glass.
The 2024 vintage opens with bright lime leaf and lime curd, joined by tuberose and fleshy nectarine. Chalky mineral notes and a cooling touch of menthol provide structure beneath the wine’s richness, carrying through to a long, multifaceted finish.
