Good Chablis is one of the most exquisite pleasures in wine. Laurent Tribut is an estate I have been following for many years. Its wines have a mineral component, which, coupled with intense, lively fruit, means they can age for many years. These are wines with a strong backbone, pairing well with seafood dishes and rock oysters.Will Lyons, The Wall Street Journal (May 2012)

A classic example of the vintage. Quite a broad nose, rich and nutty, and on the palate quite mouth filling with some rich nutty textured fruit and a good balance of acidity. Ready for drinking and will give pleasure for the next two to four years. Drink up to 2014/5. Rating: ****17 Rosemary George MW (Jan 2011)

The rich and full-bodied flavors are delicious and possess good energy on the moderately complex but solidly well-balanced finish. This should be good if not great in a year or two. 2012+ Rating: 86-89 Allen Meadows, www.Burghound.com (Jan 2011)

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.
