2014 Laurent Tribut Chablis 1er Cru Montmains #127227649
1.5L
Reviews 93 points Wine Advocate "... really surpassed my expectations from barrel when I tasted it last year. Now in bottle, it has a strict, mineral-driven bouquet with wet limestone and flint at the steering wheel. The palate is fresh and vibrant with crisp acidity, nicely detailed here with a penetrating saline finish that lingers in the mouth 60 seconds after the wine has departed. Surely the best Montmains this vintage? Bravo, Mon. Tribut. (NM)" 93 points Burghound "One aspect though that is unusual is that the flavors possess more body and roundness than those of the Beauroy with the same appealing tension and balance on the lemon zest-inflected finale. This is a really lovely effort with the best potential complexity of the range. (AM)"

About Laurent Tribut
Laurent Tribut, a rising star in the Burgundy wine scene, is making waves with his exceptional wines that showcase the true essence of Chablis. As the son-in-law of René Dauvissat, Laurent joined the esteemed winemaking tradition of the Dauvissat family. Today, he continues to carry the torch, crafting wines of consistently high quality that captivate the senses.
Situated in the picturesque village of Poinchy, just outside Chablis, Laurent operates a small family business, meticulously tending to his 5 hectares of vineyards. His vineyard holdings include prized parcels in the premier crus of Beauroy, Côte de Lechet, and Montmains, covering a total area of 5.2 hectares. The vineyards are meticulously managed, with yields deliberately restricted to ensure optimal fruit quality. The grapes are hand-harvested, showcasing Laurent's dedication to preserving the fruit's integrity.
Laurent's winemaking approach is rooted in tradition and respect for the land. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled enameled tanks, allowing for precise control over the process. Following fermentation, the wines are aged in old oak barrels sourced from a mix of reputable oak forests, including Allier, Vosges, and Chatillons. This judicious use of oak adds complexity to the wines, enhancing their mineral character and lending a luxurious, unctuous texture.
Laurent's wines are characterized by their impeccable balance and pronounced minerality, a hallmark of Chablis. The village-level Chablis displays vibrant citrus fruit, spicy apple notes, and a crisp minerality that harmonize beautifully, while the premier crus reveal an added dimension of toasty richness and a burst of bright citrus flavors. These wines are a true expression of their terroir and demand time to reach their full potential, with the premier crus benefiting from 4-5 years of bottle aging.
Having recently established his own cellars in Poinchy, Laurent Tribut has established himself as a talented winemaker with a loyal following. His authentic, artisan Chablis wines are highly sought after by enthusiasts around the world, with distribution spanning Europe, Japan, and the United States. With each bottle, Laurent invites wine lovers to embark on a sensory journey through the unique and captivating terroir of Chablis.
