2023 Lauren Estate Vineyard Sonoma Coast Chardonnay

Our first production of Lauren Estate wine was in 2003, and revealed our definition of perfection. Comprised of four distinct Chardonnay clones, this wine is a hypothetical blend of Sonoma Coast with White Burgundy.  Fabulously concentrated and layered with density and extract, the aromatics and mouth feel are profound.

Mark Aubert’s Tasting Notes

A testament to the culmination of old vines, grand cru terroir, and an immaculate growing season, the 2023 Lauren is complete and memorable. The wine is effortlessly lifted yet deeply enveloped, striking a balance between lithe elegance and rich concentration. Complex apple oil, sweet alyssum, cardamom, and petrichor aromas gently unfurl, and the palate is packed full of orchard fruit distillates. With taut, focused acidity the wine finishes in a dramatic crescendo of tension and expressiveness. A wine of this stature will effortlessly develop further complexity well beyond 10 to 15 years with proper cellaring. The wine is slightly hazy showing our commitment to minimal intervention winemaking.
