Lovely nose, very lemony and ripe but saline. Great fresh acidity, lemon curd richness. Nutty, with sweet preserved orange peel. Some oyster shell on the finish. Very good, always such a classic Chablis - in 2022 this hits all the right notes L&S (Dec 2023)

An agreeably fresh nose speaks of various white orchard fruit, citrus peel and a hint of oyster shell. The caressing and delicious but solidly punchy middleweight flavors possess good length on the balanced, clean and moderately dry finale. This attractive effort should drink well young as well as age over the mid-term. Drinking range: 2026 - Rating: 88-91 Allen Meadows, www.Burghound.com (Oct 2023)
The 2022 Chablis Village is delightful, fresh, and quite animated with orange rind, Golden Delicious and light nutty scents. Very precise. The palate is well-balanced with a crisp line of acidity, quite spicy on the mid-palate with a pleasant richness on the finish without compromising terroir expression. Drinking range: 2023 - 2029 Rating: 88-90 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (Jul 2023)
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.

Chardonnay.
Greener and livelier than the 'Arpège' cuvée, more citrus and lift here. Elegant, with a scrape of limestone giving it a bright firm finish.

Mâconnais Burgundy France 13.5% White

Slightly paler than the Crays, this is all in finesse. Slightly leaner too - a blade-like slipping wet stone and rock juice. It's immensely attractive without being as 'large' as the Crays.
