THE STORY

About this wine

Dry, crisp Premier Cru Chablis from a single organically farmed parcel of Vau de Vey — white flowers, pear, and stone fruit over stony minerality, medium-bodied, with a long, fresh finish.

Domaine des Malandes is a family estate in Chablis managing 29 hectares; the estate is certified organic and describes its wines as marked by freshness, finesse and Kimmeridgian-derived minerality. The 2023 Vau de Vey is made from a 3-hectare parcel planted in 1980, with hand harvesting.

Worth knowing

Half of this wine is raised in used oak, half in tank — that split is why the oak stays in the background and fruit and minerality carry the glass. The 3-hectare Vau de Vey parcel is organically farmed, and the certification covers the whole estate.

CHARACTERISTICS AND TASTING TIPS OF THE Domaine des Malandes Chablis 1er Cru Vau de Vey 2023

Tasting

Color: White in the glass.
Nose: Apple blossom and pressed white flowers lead, pear right behind them. Underneath sit peach, apricot, and honey, with lemon, almond, and a touch of fennel emerging last.
Palate: Bright and crisp, medium-bodied, with a little richness and volume behind it. Slightly honeyed citrus rides over stony, chalky minerality, the acidity holds it all in balance, and the finish is fresh, mineral, and persistent.

Pairs Beautifully With

A must try with Seared white fish with lemon and butter
A must try with Roast chicken with fennel and fresh herbs
