It was founded by Mark and Teresa Aubert in 1999, and today, is considered to be one of California's cult producers. The first vintage of Aubert was in 2000 – a Chardonnay sourced from the Ritchie Vineyard in Russian River Valley. It quickly received acclaim for its full-blown, hedonistic style and was pivotal for company's success. Although the vineyard is no longer within the company's holdings, the Burgundian syle in which the Ritchie Vineyard Chardonnay was produced, remains as the production style throughout the wine portfolio. The chardonnay wines are barrel-fermented and aged in French oak, a majority of which is new. Aubert's portfolio has since expanded to an array of single-vineyard Chardonnay and Pinot Noir wines, sourced from multiple vineyard sites in Russian River and Rutherford as well as Napa and Sonoma. Each wine in Aubert's portfolio is named after the parcel of vineyard from which it is sourced and production is extremely limited. The Lauren vineyard is eight acres (3.2 hectares) of Chardonnnay, named after the founder's daughter and was the first estate vineyard of Aubert. Today, the compnay counts over ten different vineyards within its holdings. Aubert wines are only available through mailing list or from certain restaurants due to the consistently high scores they receive from critics.\u003cbr\u003e","published_at":"2023-03-15T11:56:11-04:00","created_at":"2023-02-27T10:32:30-05:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_United States","LK2702","Other_Wine","Producer_Aubert","Region_California","Source_Continental0223","Type_White Wine","Varietal_Chardonnay"],"price":69899,"price_min":69899,"price_max":69899,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":42807537303690,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2018 | Aubert | Cix Estate Vineyard Chardonnay","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":69899,"weight":12247,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0050\/2395\/7103\/products\/18_5e84f868-18d8-4f9c-bec5-f19430dc2792.jpg?v=1677512106"],"featured_image":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0050\/2395\/7103\/products\/18_5e84f868-18d8-4f9c-bec5-f19430dc2792.jpg?v=1677512106","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2018 | Aubert | Cix Estate Vineyard Chardonnay at CaskCartel.com","id":24298447110282,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.6,"height":1000,"width":600,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0050\/2395\/7103\/products\/18_5e84f868-18d8-4f9c-bec5-f19430dc2792.jpg?v=1677512106"},"aspect_ratio":0.6,"height":1000,"media_type":"image","src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0050\/2395\/7103\/products\/18_5e84f868-18d8-4f9c-bec5-f19430dc2792.jpg?v=1677512106","width":600}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eWhite Wine: 2018 | Aubert | Cix Estate Vineyard Chardonnay\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeatures a steely structure, with concentrated freshly cut apple, brioche and Asian pear flavors, supported by crunchy acidity.
