Aubert
About Aubert
Raised in the Napa County city of St.Helena, proprietor and eponymous founder Mark Aubert is, like more than a few of the world’s great vignerons, a person with farming and terroir in his blood. The son of fruit farmers, Aubert’s sole foray out of his native Napa was to university, upon completion of which he eagerly returned to commence what has been an extraordinary life in wine. Having spent a fruitful career as winemaker at the famous Colgin Cellars as well as consulting for Sloan, FUTO and Bryant Family, Mark and his wife Teresa Aubert founded their namesake winery officially in 1999, releasing their first vintage in 2000.
In the handful of years through which they have been operating, the husband and wife team have crafted what are, quite simply, some of the finest Chardonnays ever made in Napa – no small claim by any means. A swathe of perfect 100 point scores from the world’s leading critics tell only part of the story – it is the striking depth, power and purity which have astonished oenophiles over the past vintages.
