Waiting sometimes has it's rewards and this was one. Extremely pale in color was the first good sign. The aromatics are very delicate so much so that upon opening while you get a classic overall Chablis whiff the primary fruit notes are almost hard to discern -i predominantly described them as pear but with a note of small white flowers as in Jasmin but very delicate. The Oyster shell sea air is here for sure but never mind all of that, what is really impressive is the lightness of expression yet the perfect balance. (read as in perfect acidity to make it all work). The taste is classic Chablis on the ethereal light side of things but oh so easy to drink, it's all about the mouth feel tension which just begs for another sip. With more concentration I would say that there is some yeast like baked good character and as the wine opens up some waxy notes and even a hint of vanilla like powdered sugar that was stored with a vanilla stick. Nothing is out of place, this is a really fine wine at a good place and I would say it should easily drink well for another 3-5 years or more but there is no need to delay gratification. This is definitely a wine for those who appropriate lacy fitness over sheer power. We polished off the first half with 2 dozen oysters and the rest with a simple pasta dish followed by a Pyrenese Erbis sheep milk cheese which was a dope combo. Life is good!

Killer wine. Razor sharp and focused with saline notes, citrus/lime and crushed rock. Very expressive compared to the 2008 Dauvissat Forest even if this still comes across as a baby. Impressive. Chez Peytz.

Light green colour. Open nose of stone, apple and seashells with a touch of smoke. Great mouthfeel. Fresh with lots of acid. Slightly oily texture. Long finish with a touch of spice. Still lots of life left.

Clear and white fruited palate, brisk lemon acidity and really lovely Chablis wool notes, very classic, very delicious, very complete. With Michel and David S. after Wildair

The nose is very neutral, but the palate is alive with wooly notes and white fruit, just amazing, with great acidity. Hints of old wood on the finish. It is one of the most humid days of the summer in NYC and this wine is salvation. I brought this to Fairway Cafe with the guys.

Almost one year since my last bottle. Nose is faint. My first impression is the notable wool notes on the palate. Good clarity to the palate, no overt oak, lots of wool notes. Doesn't seem quite together, as if some elements are diffuse. Some air brings better focus, but still, I think this is either an aberrant bottle, or this wine may have been better one year ago.

Quite good. This seems to have a confluence of great vintage, notable producer and great vineyard, plus a couple of years of cellar age, which all come together in a very nice Chablis drinking experience. The palate shows clear fruit with touches of golden fruit, wool notes and minerals. The edges are rounder with a couple of years in the cellar. Overall, delicious. No degradation overnight, the wine is even more focused. In Hallendale. Bottle 1 of 6.

2008 Laurent Tribut Cote de Lechet, Chablis Premier Cru Laurent Tribut er svoger til Dauvissat, og lagde vinen sin hos Dauvissat frem til 1993. Lager nå vin så vidt jeg vet fra Poinchy nord for Chablis. Vinstokkene i Cote de Lechet er unge, og dette er en vin han først startet å produsere I 1994. Drukket fra Riedel Vinum Chablis. Ganske lukket på nesen, men det ligger god sjø og østerskarakter bak den lukkede stilen. Litt pære, grønne epler, lime og krydder. Etter en stund i glasset bliver den litt mer floral. Stor munnfølelse, med en viss tyngde og fedme, men dette balanseres av en helt rå syre. Om jeg skulle beskrive syren med ett or må det være ”mouth-watering”. Typiske fatkrydder, men mindre enn i std Chablis til Tribut. Overdøver på ingen måte chabliskarakteren. Rik frukt og fantastisk lang ettersmak. Fantastisk nå, vil bi magisk ved videre lagring. 93p

Good fruit, and concentration. I imagine this could develop further.

Not as expressive and sophisticated as I had expected from this producer.

At The Don: a classic mid- weight Chablis, I suppose, with marked oyster shell, but I don't care for this iodine flavour.
