Grape: 100% Chardonnay, organic, 14.4ha vineyard on limestone soil (left bank of the Serein), 25-50 year old vines, unoaked

Producer Tasting Note: 

Fine, fresh and elegant nose with minty notes and aromas of lemon and white flowers. Crisp on the palate, with a lively and tangy attack. Good length, with a very mineral finish, accompanied by notes of citrus zest.

Critic's Tasting Note:

"A fresh white that has aromas of lemons, apples, thyme and seashells. It’s medium-bodied, bright and clean. From organically grown grapes. Drink now."

The Domaine des Malandes is a family estate of 29 hectares of vines planted across numerous locations in Chablis. The wines are appreciated for their freshness, finesse and minerality, directly from the famous Kimmeridgian, the unique subsoil of the Chablis vineyard.

The domaine is now run by Richard Rottiers (of Beaujolais fame) and has converted to organic farming. A huge increase in quality and an estate to watch closely.

Food Match: Ideal as an aperitif, or with simple fish and poultry dishes
