(from Tribut’s smallest parcel of only .23 ha situated in La Forêt). Pretty aromas include those of white flower, essence of pear, green apple, iodine and shellfish. The sleek, delicious and rich flavors possess fine mid-palate volume while possess a caressing mouthfeel before concluding in a palate coating, focused and hugely persistent finish. This moderately austere effort is also first-rate and absolutely worth your interest. Drinking range: 2023 - 2030 Rating: 93 Allen Meadows, www.Burghound.com (Jan 2023)
The 2020 Chablis 1er Cru Montmains was still in tank and consequently the most reserved of Tribut's wines, unwinding in the glass with notes of white flowers, green apple and nutmeg, framed by light reduction. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and incisive, with a bright spine of acidity and a saline finish, it shows considerable promise at this early stage. Rating: 92-94 William Kelley, The Wine Advocate (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)
