The Domaine des Malandes was so named in 1986. Lyne and Jean-Bernard Marchive are the winegrowers of this family sized wine farm. The domaine originates from the work of several generations of Tremblays (Lyne Marchive's family), locals from a village called ''La Chapelle Vaupelteigne'', one of the twenty villages that make up the Chablis wine region.
The vineyards that produce the grapes for this truly remarkable Chablis cover an area of 15 hectares at an altitude varying between 150 to 250 m on soft slopes rich in Kimmeridgien clay. The vines were planted between 5 and 40 years ago and it is the age of the vines, the rootstock and the sub-soil that are the source of the balance and complexity of the wine.
Tasting Notes:
When young this wine is excellently crisp with expressive aromas of fresh fruit, in particular peaches, and a wonderful richness and a mineral taste.
Food Pairings:
Serve lightly chilled with fish or white meats.
