Dom Laurent Tribut, Cote de Lechet Premier Cru Chablis 2021

93 points Vinous
“The 2021 Chablis Côte de Léchet 1er Cru comes from three parcels. This has a well-defined, classically-lined bouquet that unfurls in the glass, fine mineralité, quite strict and focused. The palate is well balanced with a saline entry, fine depth and cohesion, fanning out with a oyster shell tinged finish. This is certainly worth checking out.”

Vinous Reverie Notes
When Laurent Tribut married Marie-Clotilde Dauvissat, the daughter of Rene Dauvissat, he joined the family´s winemaking tradition. Long ago, the Dauvissats purchased excellent Chablis vineyards adjoining their own premier crus to give their children the opportunity to become viticulturists. Laurent and Marie-Clotilde have used those vineyards to do just that. Together with their children, Laurent and Marie-Clotilde live only a few miles from Vincent Dauvissat, in a large, restored farmhouse with vineyards behind the property. Tasting Notes: Mineral and lemons on the nose, very citric and stony. More grapefruit than lemons on the palate, but not sour, and then the lemons take over, along with limes, too. Thick fruit, with white licorice nuances – an elegant and lively finish.
