Tasting Note



Wine Advocate 92, William Kelley,  30 April 2019

From Laurent Tribut's swan song vintage, the 2017 Chablis Village is as lovely from bottle as it was from barrel, offering up a pretty and superbly nuanced bouquet of citrus oil, crisp peach, green apple, beeswax, white flowers and oyster shell. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, ample and expansive, with a beautifully refined, glossy texture, lovely concentration and purity and ripe balancing acids, concluding with a long, saline finish. This is an utterly charming, even precocious vintage for Tribut, and the wine is already hard to resist. It ranks among the finest expressions of the appellation and is well worth seeking out—if you can, buy it by the case.

Winemaking


For years, Laurent Tribut´s wines were actually made in the Dauvissat cellars, in the same manner and spirit as the now legendary Dauvissat wines. Recently, however, Laurent moved his cellar to the town of Poinchy, just outside the town of Chablis. He carried with him the traditional Dauvissat methods of hand-harvesting and fermentation.

The fermentation is in temperature-controlled enamel tanks and a percentage of the wine is matured in old oak barrels. Fining occurs 5-6 weeks before bottling, and a light filtration is done at the time of bottling. 

Winery


Laurent Tribut joined the winemaking tradition of René Dauvissat when he married Marie-Clotilde. The Dauvissats strategically acquired prime AOC Chablis vineyards for their children, including Laurent and Marie-Clotilde. Their 12.5-acre domaine comprises AOC Chablis and premier cru vineyards like Chablis Beauroy, Chablis Montmains, and Chablis Côte de Léchet. 

With a focus on sustainable practices, Tribut minimizes fertilizers and phytosanitary treatments, maintains hand-harvests at 3.7 tons per acre. Nestled near Vincent Dauvissat, the family resides in a restored farmhouse surrounded by vineyards. Their daughter Solange now contributes her winemaking talents to the family business.
