When Laurent Tribut married Marie-Clotilde Dauvissat, he joined one of Chablis' renowned winemaking families. René Dauvissat, Marie’s father, gifted them prime parcels of Chablis AC & 1er Cru to establish Domaine Tribut, now spanning 7 hectares. The Chablis AC vineyards, located on Kimmeridgian soils near the Dauvissat plots, are farmed naturally with minimal treatments. Harvesting is done by hand, and wines are fermented in tanks before aging in barrels—some up to 50 years old, with new oak only replacing old barrels as needed. Since Laurent's retirement in 2019, his children Solonge, Adeline, and Gabriel have taken over, each focusing on different aspects of the business.

Tribut's Chablis shares stylistic traits with their Dauvissat relatives, featuring a rich texture, lemony fruit notes, white spice, and vibrant minerality. They offer immediate appeal, with a dense yet not heavy structure that evolves into complex wines with age. Compared to Dauvissat, they have a bit more generosity, often resembling the classic White Burgundies of the Côte de Beaune more than typical Chablis.
