This is notably more elegant with a layered and typical nose of citrus peel, white flowers, mineral reduction and tidal pool nuances. There is good verve and plenty of punch to the rich but well-detailed and overtly citrus and mineral-inflected medium-bodied flavors that possess a racy, linear and persistent finish. 2015+ Rating: 90 Allen Meadows, www.Burghound.com (Oct 2012)

Very hermetic nose hints at resin and marzipan, with fruit in the deep background. Round and seamless but a bit featureless now in the middle palate, with notes of menthol and chicken broth dominating. More impressive on the broad, smooth, stony finish. Still, this is a bit foursquare now. Rating: 89 Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar (Jul 2012)
Domaine Laurent Tribut
Laurent Tribut is married to Vincent Dauvissat's sister, Marie Clotilde. When he started he made his wines in the Dauvissat cellar in Chablis, but now this small family-run domaine is based in Poinchy. Laurent has now officially retired and has now handed over to three of their four children (Solange, Adeline and Gabriel), with Solange taking the lead in the winery.
With just 6 hectares the quantities are small - but the quality of all the cuvées is extraordinary. Pure, powerfully driven, classically shaped there is more than a passing similarity to the wines of his brother-in-law, the head-line grabbing Vincent Dauvissat. Buyers will enjoy these long-lived wines with some time in bottle too - they have a great ability to age and patience will pay off, we recently tasted the 1er Cru Côte de Léchet 2004 with Laurent in his cellar and it was bright, young and full of vigour - nearly 15 years on, and in 2020 the 2000 Beauroy was still in it’s prime. In 2025, the 2014 village Chablis was looking lively and mineral, and would be a great foil for some foods. This is brilliant, classic Chablis.

20-30% Pinot Blanc in the vineyard. Long fermentation, so still half-made when we tasted. Good volume and body, it's something a little different, but very likeable. Not very deep soils - it's on pebbles.
