2018 Laurent Tribut Chablis 1er Cru Cote de Lechet #154575066
Reviews 91-93 points Wine Advocate "Notes of white flowers, apples, oyster shells and wet stones preface the 2018 Chablis 1er Cru Cote de Lechet, a medium to full-bodied, satiny and impressively incisive wine in this warm vintage, with plenty of chalky extract and a mineral finish. At this early stage, the Cote de Lechet looks to be one of the premier cru highlights of the vintage. (WK)" 91 points Vinous "The 2018 Chablis Cote de Lechet 1er Cru has a clean, fresh nose with touches of menthol and pine needles joining the citrus aromas, though it is never what you would call intense. The palate is the finest of Tribut’s 2018s, quite spicy with a dash of white pepper, fresh and slightly minty, especially toward the finish. It is not a long-term Cote de Lechet like the 2014 or 2017, but it is a well-crafted, enticing expression of this vineyard. (NM)"

About Laurent Tribut
Marie-Clotilde and Laurent were gifted with eight acres of AOC Chablis from Rene and have also acquired approximately four acres of Premier Cru vineyards - Chablis Beauroy, Chablis Montmains, and Chablis Côte de Léche. Their AOC Chablis is sourced from the highly prized kimmeridgian soils, also found in the neighboring Dauvissat vineyards.
Seek out the AOC Chablis for its lively citrus fruit, spicy apples, and crisp minerality, all in perfect harmony and a smooth texture. The Premier Cru Chardonnays showcase a toasty, rich complexity with a burst of bright citrus flavors that surpass expectations for their modest prices.
