Chablis Domaine des Malandes 2019

The wine

This Chablis is a single-varietal Chardonnay from vines planted between 1976 and 2000 that enjoy a north-western exposure. After a mechanical harvest, Domaine des Malandes opts to vinify the grapes in stainless steel vats. The temperature during fermentation is controlled at 18°C so the grape can express its delicacy and the minerality of its terroir. The wine is bottled after filtering.
In the glass this wine has a pale, yellow colour and a subtle bouquet of white flowers, white fruit, and chalk. On the palate, this characteristic minerality stands out, lingering on a saline finish. We recommend enjoying this cuvée young with dishes like seafood or cheese.

About the Producer Domaine des Malandes

Domaine des Malandes in Chablis was created in 1986 by Lyne and Jean-Bernard Marchive. The vineyard spans 27 hectares; the vineyard is managed sustainably, with grass growing between rows and green harvesting. Lyne has been helped by the enologist Guénolé Breteaudeau (formerly at Château Long-Depquit) since 2006. The wines have come a long way in recent years, becoming much more refined and precise.
