More restraint, elegance and grandeur. A baby sleeping, this needs time. Slight honeyed nuttiness, but with a sea breeze saltiness. Pure, detailed but with a shade more weight - this is very impressive and full of joy. L&S (Dec 2023)

(from Tribut’s smallest parcel of only .23 ha situated in La Forêt). Firm reduction overshadows the fruit today. Otherwise, there is terrific punch and lovely detail to the finer if perhaps less mineral-driven flavors that flash outstanding length on the very dry but not especially austere finale. This is also very good and worth your interest provided that you intend to age it over at least the mid-term as this wine always needs time.

The 2022 Chablis Montmains 1er Cru has a pure and effective bouquet with shimmering yellow plum and peach skin scents, a hint of coconut and sea spray emerging with time. Superb delineation. The palate is very well-balanced with a honeyed texture, lower in acidity compared to the 2021, but certainly the most precise of Tribut's 2022s on the finish. Excellent.

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.
