The 2024 Chardonnay Lauren is the most refined and sensual of the 2024 Chardonnays from Mark Aubert. Soft, caressing contours frame a core of apricot, lemon confit, white flowers, tangerine oil and chalk. This vivid, structured Chardonnay has a very bright future. This is such a classy and wonderfully complete wine. Lauren is a blend of Hyde, Hudson, Corton Charlemagne and Mt. Eden clones.
