For many, Raveneau and Dauvissat define benchmark Chablis. Through his marriage into the Dauvissat family and hands-on mentorship, Laurent Tribut has emerged as one of the appellation’s most compelling talents.Today, alongside his daughter, he farms 5 hectares largely drawn from Dauvissat family holdings, initially vinified at the domaine under René and Vincent’s guidance. Though now based at his own winery nearby, Tribut remains firmly rooted in this tradition.

William Kelley: “Organic grapes, moderate yields, hand-harvesting at full maturity, fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks and enameled steel, followed—typically from February—by élevage on the lees in used oak, form the cornerstones of the estate’s approach. This methodology will be familiar to followers of Vincent Dauvissat’s wines, and it remains unchanged under the new generation. Domaine Tribut continues to stand as a reference for classic, artisanal Chablis. In short, readers can buy with confidence across the range, which comprises just four wines under the Domaine Tribut label.”
