Vinous: 97 Points

The 2022 Chardonnay CIX Estate is rich, ample and explosive. A classic Mark Aubert wine, the CIX is off the charts. Soaring aromatics and deep, layered fruit take hold of the senses and never let up. White orchard fruit, jasmine, lemon confit, white pepper and spice lend nuance to a Chardonnay built on textural resonance. The 2022 is arrestingly beautiful from the first taste. Montrachet clone here really sings.

97 points – Antonio Galloni, May 2024

AG: “Mark and Teresa Aubert consistently produce some of the most compelling Chardonnays in California. The Aubert Chardonnays are often quite showy on release, but time has shown they also age exceptionally well. Readers will find stylish, sumptuous Chardonnays that exalt the essence of site.”

Wine Advocate: 97 Points

Always one of the last sites Aubert picks, the 2022 Chardonnay CIX Estate matured in close to 75% new French oak. Hints of crushed stone accent ripe, lush notes of white peaches and pineapple. This full-bodied, opulent wine seems a bit lower in acidity than usual, but it still finishes crisp and long, with a delicate hint of mocha on the finish.

Wine Spectator: 96 Points

Plush, elegant and generous, with peach, dried apricot and mango puree flavors that have an appealingly fleshy density, showing a touch of lemon drop candy, plus notes of mandarin orange, salted preserved lemon, apple pastry and crème anglaise. A hint of smoked butterscotch lingers. Drink now through 2034. 1,272 cases made. –MW
