About The Wine
A classic expression of Chablis from one of the region’s most respected family-run domaines, the 2023 Domaine des Malandes Chablis offers precision, purity, and elegance in every sip. Crafted from sustainably farmed vineyards on limestone-rich soils, this vintage is a vibrant showcase of minerality and freshness.
On the nose, delicate aromas of green apple, lemon zest, and white flowers are layered with subtle saline and chalky notes. The palate is crisp and clean, with a fine balance between bright citrus acidity and a smooth, rounded texture. Hints of pear, flint, and a touch of oyster shell linger on the long, refreshing finish.
Perfect as an aperitif or paired with seafood, goat cheese, or light poultry dishes, this Chablis is a stellar example of the finesse and charm that defines the region.
Drink now through 2028. Serve well-chilled.
About Domaine des Malandes
Nestled in the heart of Chablis, Domaine des Malandes embodies a remarkable fusion of family tradition and pioneering spirit. Founded in 1986 by Lyne Marchive and her husband, this estate traces its viticultural roots to the 1940s and 1950s, when Lyne's family, the Tremblays—a venerable name in Chablis—strategically acquired vineyard land by trading agricultural fields for premium sites, often receiving two hectares of vines for each hectare of wheat-suitable land.
Lyne managed the estate from 1972, later partnering with oenologist Guénolé Breteaudeau to elevate their winemaking. Her firm vision centered on maximizing the expression of Chablis's distinctive Kimmeridgian soils across their 27 hectares.
Today, Lyne's children Richard Rottiers and Amandine Marchive continue this legacy with renewed purpose. Since taking control, they have embraced organic viticulture, achieving certification in 2022, while preserving the estate's founding philosophy of pure terroir expression through meticulously crafted Chardonnay.
