Laurent Tribut
For many years the wines of Laurent Tribut were a well-kept secret among Chablis enthusiasts, often in the shadow of his father-in-law, Rene Dauvissat. The wines were even originally made in the cellar at Dauvissat. When Laurent married Marie Clotilde Dauvissat, they were gifted top Chablis AOC sites as a means to start their own domaine. Over the years, they have acquired more vineyards and moved to a new cellar located in Poinchy just outside the village of Chablis.
The winemaking style is very much along the lines of those made at Dauvissat. All grapes are hand-harvested and fermented in temperature-controlled enamel tanks, with a percentage raised in old oak barrels. The wines are fined and lightly filtered just prior to bottling. The result is an appealing balance focused around crisp fruit, salty mineral tones, and subtle toast notes. The AOC Chablis is one of the best buys for the money in Chablis, but their Premier Crus coming from Montmains, Beauroy, and Cote de Lechet step up the complexity. Not to be missed, these wines are some of the truest of the Chablis appellation.
Region/Subregion
France
It would be difficult to overstate the importance of France to the wine world. With a rich history of wine production across virtually all of France over the last thousand years many of the grape species that are known for producing benchmark wines from all over the world had their beginnings in France. Over centuries vignerons refined their focus on what grapes thrived and transmitted a sense of place.
