Spicier roundness here, but shining minerality too. Oyster shells with fresh lemon. Riper orchard fruit. Sea breeze. Richness evident but more subtle in this wine. L&S (Dec 2023)

(from a 1.8 ha parcel that is divided roughly 50/50 between Beauroy proper and Troëmes). A whiff of exotic fruit lurks in the background of the aromas of mostly white peach, apricot and sea breeze. The rich and beautifully textured medium weight flavors possess notably better depth on the sneaky long and balanced finale that is noticeably firmer.

The 2022 Chablis Beauroy 1er Cru has an intense oyster shell-tinged bouquet, conveying plenty of energy. The palate is well-balanced, with a dash of white pepper on the entry. More broad-shouldered than the 2021, with fine depth and quite fiery and peppery on the finish. This is likely to give immediate drinking pleasure.

Domaine Laurent Tribut
Laurent Tribut is married to Vincent Dauvissat's sister, Marie Clotilde. When he started he made his wines in the Dauvissat cellar in Chablis, but now this small family-run domaine is based in Poinchy. Laurent has now officially retired and has now handed over to three of their four children (Solange, Adeline and Gabriel), with Solange taking the lead in the winery. With Laurent’s guidance the future here looks very bright.
With just 6 hectares the quantities are small - but the quality of all the cuvées is extraordinary. Pure, powerfully driven, classically shaped there is more than a passing similarity to the wines of his brother-in-law, the head-line grabbing Vincent Dauvissat. Buyers will enjoy these long-lived wines with some time in bottle too - they have a great ability to age and patience will pay off, we recently tasted the 1er Cru Côte de Léchet 2004 with Laurent in his cellar and it was bright, young and full of vigour - nearly 15 years on, and in 2020 the 2000 Beauroy was still in it’s prime. This is brilliant, classic Chablis.
