When Laurent Tribut married Marie-Clotilde Dauvissat, the daughter of René Dauvissat, he joined the family´s winemaking tradition. Long ago, the Dauvissats purchased excellent AOC
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. The domaine consists of 12.5 acres of vineyards. Tribut´s wines are immediately appealing, crisp and lively with lovely fruit, lemony aromas, spicy apple flavors, good balance, and a silky finish. His AOC Chablis is a point of reference for the appellation.
Tasting Notes
A lovely nose of crème brûlée and vanilla bean. On the palate, warm, ripe, puckering acidity and lemon/lime minerality, yet very easy to drink already. Acids cling to the roof of your mouth. There is ripe, sugared grapefruit on the finish.
