Chablis 1er Cru "Côte de Lechet" 2018 Laurent Tribut
Chablis 1er Cru "Côte de Lechet" is one of Domaine Laurent Tribut's flagship labels, a traditional Chablis made from Chardonnay grapes grown on two different plots of the domaine's own Côte de Lechet cru.
Domaine Laurent Tribut is one of the leading names in the Chablis region, thanks in part to its relationship with Vincent Dauvissat, from whom Laurent started working and learned the winemaking techniques. The grapes are harvested by hand and the bunches pressed whole. The fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks while the ageing is done in small old wooden barrels with only 10% new wood.
Pale yellow in colour with some green reflections, it has an aroma of white flowers and citrus fruits, officinal herbs and spices. The sip is endowed with mineral tension, and recalls aromatic memories of beeswax. It is long and persistent. Its freshness makes it a good match for shellfish and baked fish.
