Light golden, shiny. |

Combining minerality and maturity, beautiful concentration, creamy, fresh and floral notes supported by the shellfish touches of the Chablis terroir. |

Broad and generous, with beautifully ripe fruit, this wine is dense, fresh, refined, very vertical and perfectly balanced between consistency and finesse. |

The estate and the wine |
|
|
A true Chablis treasure, Estate des Malandes has captivated our Selection Committee! Discovered last year during a visit to Burgundy, this estate has everything to impress: organic farming, impeccable quality, and fair pricing.
The Marchive-Rottiers family is dedicated to crafting precise, pure, and expressive Chablis, each reflecting its unique terroir. No unnecessary intervention—just proven techniques and carefully managed aging in barrels and demi-muids (500L) to refine and elevate these wines for long-term aging. |
|
| | |
|
From vines averaging over 50 years old and aged in demi-muids with 20% new oak, the 2023 Chablis Grand Cru Vaudésir White unfolds with remarkable structure—rich, ripe, and strikingly vertical. This is a beautifully refined wine, offering floral and creamy notes with vibrant freshness and a pronounced mineral core. Perfectly balanced between depth and finesse, it’s built to age gracefully for six to ten years, yet can already be enjoyed today with a bit of aeration. Rated 93/100 by the Selection Committee. |
