Laurent Tribut Chablis 2023
Laurent oversees 5 hectares of vines and crafts the wines with his daughter. Those vines were largely from a collection of village vineyards the Dauvissat family collected to one day give to their offspring should they elect to join the family business, and Laurent and Marie-Clotilde took full advantage of this opportunity, even making the wines at the Dauvissat family at first under the guidance of René and Vincent. Today, the Tribut winery is a few miles away, but they follow many of the same practices they learned from the family. All of the grapes are harvested by hand, and the wine is fermented in enamel tanks to avoid any ionic charges, and some of the wines are aged in used oak barrels.

Review Date: 01/2025This vibrant and dynamic village Chablis explodes with aromas of lime peel, passion fruit and greengage plums adorned with acacia blossoms and chalky minerality. The feel is racy and bright, but there is substance here as well. This wine will be crisp and approachable on release but will profit from mid-term ageing in the cellar. Fruit is from parcels at Courgis and Poinchy, with a bit from the Beauroy and Forêts premiers crus. Fermentation in tank is followed by six months in cask before bottling.(CC)
