Father & Daughter - 91p

Chablis is one of the favourite wines of us Norwegians and this week's wine is one of my favourite producers from this northern Burgundy area. Laurent Tribut did not come from a winemaking family himself, but, when he married Marie-Clotilde Dauvissat of the famed Domaine Dauvissat estate, he joined in the family’s winemaking tradition. Laurent spent a decade learning winemaking from his brother-in-law, Vincent Dauvissat, and father-in-law, René, before founding his own Domaine in 1987. Today, their daughter Solange has joined in the family business as a winemaker.

We’ve been to several winemakers here the daughters are taking their place in both the vineyards and cellar. The Tribut family is such a family where Solange has been making here own wines since 2008. Both wines from father and daughter are available at the Vinmonopol and both are superb. We’ve gone for the fathers wine this week, but we recommend both equally. It’s good to know that the winemaking is in good hands at the Tribut family. ​

Tasting notes:

Laurent Tribut Chablis 2018 - 348,- kr

A lovely nose of crème brûlée and vanilla bean. On the palate, warm, ripe, puckering acidity and lemon/lime minerality, yet very easy to drink already. Acids cling to the roof of your mouth. There is ripe, sugared grapefruit on the finish.
