2018 Laurent Tribut Chablis 1er Cru Cote de Lechet #171205408
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)"
