Gorgeous. Sweetly ripe and still pure and crystalline. Intensity builds and it just goes on and on. Nicely saline, making it all the more mouth watering. Drinking range: 2024 - 2035 L&S (Oct 2021)

(from a .8 ha parcel). There is a plethora of Chablis typicity to the ripe aromas of pear, apple and lemon-lime. The caressing, round and nicely intense medium-weight flavors possess solid depth and persistence on the attractively dry and stunningly long finish that is supported by lemon-tinged acidity. This striking effort is presently extremely compact and very much built-to-age. In a word, excellent. Drinking range: 2023 - 2030 Rating: 93 Allen Meadows, www.Burghound.com (Jan 2023)
Aromas of pear, white flowers, fresh bread, almonds and mint introduce the 2020 Chablis 1er Cru Côte de Léchet, a medium to full-bodied, satiny and precise wine that's deep and concentrated, with chalky structure and brisk acids. Rating: 91-93 William Kelley, The Wine Advocate (Jan 2022)
Fresh lighter colour, more perfume to the nose, ripe citrus. On the palate, this is in the white fruit register, quite accessible, easy going and very charming, a little pear and some fresh crunchy apple. Rating: 90-92 Jasper Morris - Inside Burgundy (Jan 2022)
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 Laurent’s guidance the future here looks very bright.
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. This is brilliant, classic Chablis.

From four different plots. Quite restrained on the nose. However, there is good concentration of fruit on the palate. Some toasty notes too. Not as powerful as some and perhaps lacking a shade of complexity to push it in...(read more)
