Tribut, a true man of the earth, had never been on an airplane until he took a vacation in Guadeloupe last fall.Having survived the adventure, he flew to Norway on a trade trip barely a month later."Now when people ask me if I would ever consider visiting the U.S., I can say 'it's possible,'" he told me. Tribut began harvesting on September 21 in 2012; he reported some hydric stress that was relieved by needed rain in mid-September.Grape sugars reached as high as 13.5% but pHs were very low in 2012.Tribut does his alcoholic and malolactic fermentations in tank, then racks his wines into older oak barrels.

Laurent Tribut, whose standard answer to most questions about vintage quality or the merits of a particular wine is a simple shrug of the shoulders, allowed that 2011 brought healthy grapes with "a good 12%" of potential alcohol.The vintage's only fault is that it lacks acidity."Tribut told me he does not use anti-rot sprays because they retard grape maturity.I tasted 2010s from Tribut's last bottling, which took place in April of this year, as the bottles from the first mise were already sold.Tribut says the 2010 vintage has a balance very much like 2008, "but maybe a bit more density."
