The ‘14 remains the quintessential Chablis AOC. So fresh, like just-squeezed crisp Chardonnay fruit poured over fragrant, chalky limestone. What it lacks in depth and weight compared to the top premier crus, it makes up for in sheer exuberance and freshness. Love this wine. — 7 years ago
If the 2010 Dauvissat forest on the prior night was about pleasure then this is about pain. Piercing; incredibly palate staining grapefruit rind and lemon segments. Long and tense. Still felt crazy young (or shutdown?) We did enjoy it but I’d wait on this if you can — 8 years ago

Wonderfully executed, textbook Chablis. Fermentation in cuve; mix of cuve and neutral oak elevage. A wonderful example that speaks to the appellation. Tribut is a protégé of Dauvissat and I think that having studied under that kind of expertise definitely shows here. Full of verve and crackling energy while also showing a some richness and a bit fuller body from the warm vintage. Definitely would be best in a few more years but still a pleasure to drink now.
