FEATURES
The Laurent Tribut estate, now managed by Laurent's three children with Solange leading winemaking, continues to uphold its signature balance, minerality, and elegance. Laurent Tribut himself, though retired in 2019, remains involved, ensuring the estate's high standards are maintained. The 2023 vintage in Chablis was characterized by a healthy crop and ripe fruit, with the harvest commencing around September 10th. The Beauroy 1er Cru site, with its stony slope and naturally dry exposure, is particularly well-suited to this vintage, producing a wine that is tight and mineral, yet offers a pleasing mid-palate presence.
This Chablis Beauroy 1er Cru is noted for being richer than the estate's standard Chablis, presenting aromas of ripe pear, white peach, and delicate floral nuances. It boasts a pale lemon-yellow hue and potent aromas of white peach, green apple, oyster shell, and white blossoms. The texture is creamy and deep, complemented by vibrant acidity that leads to an impressively long finish. Expect a fresh and vibrant palate with notes of red apple, Conference pear, and a hint of crushed stone, culminating in a spicy finish.
🍴 For food pairings, this versatile white Burgundy shines with grilled white asparagus drizzled with hazelnut oil or herb-crusted roasted chicken with a light cream sauce. It also pairs beautifully with pork, shellfish, rich fish like salmon or tuna, and mild, soft cheeses.
🥂 The 2023 Laurent Tribut Chablis Beauroy 1er Cru is a delightful bottle that can be enjoyed now as a serious wine, but also possesses the structure to reward cellaring for 10-20 years. It's a smart buy for those seeking a Premier Cru Chablis that offers both immediate pleasure and aging potential. 【Signature balance, minerality, and elegance, even after Laurent Tribut's retirement.】
