DOMAINE MALANDES CHABLIS 2023 MIXED CASE
Available to ship July 2025
Meet the extraordinary Domaines des Malandes, one of the pioneers of what we know today as appellation Chablis. Over three generations, a domain has been built and nurtured that is as complete a picture of the history of Chablis as we have ever seen.
Our good friend and erstwhile Beaujolais producer, Richard Rottiers, and his sister Amandine are now at the helm of this family-owned domain.
Here's a 'sampler' of their 2023 vintage in these 6 different Chablis wines, including the 5 premier crus
12 bottle case includes 2 bottles of each of these Chablis with GROUND SHIPPING INCLUDED:
Domaine Des Malandes Chablis 2023
From 35 acres in several plots on the Left Bank, this Chablis comes from 25-50 year old vines. The wine is vinified in 100% stainless steel and allowed to develop ‘en masse’ for another 12 months before bottling. An excellent example of the tension and purity of Chablis Kimmeridgian minerality, with vivacious citrus notes. Fresh and round finish of fruit and minerality.
Domaine Des Malandes Chablis 1er Cru 'Vau de Vey' 2023
45 year old Left Bank vineyard, tucked in behind Cote de Lechet, the wine is vinified in 80% stainless and left for another 7 months ‘en masse’ yielding an enticing mix of exotic fruits, complex and strict minerality, persistent fruit and a long, balanced finish between the fruit and the minerality. A unique and spirited Left Bank premier cru.
Domaine Des Malandes Chablis 1er Cru 'Cote de Lechet' 2023
50 year old Left Bank vineyard, with southeast exposition, this could be the paradigm of Cote de Lechet: strict almost dusty minerality, the way the Chablisiens like it! Vinified 8 months in 70% stainless, and then left another 14 months to develop tension, this is a lively example of the pure minerality, with a hint of flintiness, the Lechet is famous for. Long smoky finish on the fruit.
Domaine Des Malandes Chablis 1er Cru 'Montmains' 2023
Left Bank 60 year old vines with southeast exposure, 8 months of vinification in stainless and another 7 months in steel to bring it together, Montmains is ripe and complex, full bodied and generous, with fruits right from the attack, through the mid-palate and onto a finish that is rich with a touch of spice.
Domaine Des Malandes Chablis 1er Cru 'Fourchaume' 2023
70 year old vines. I’ll say that again: 70 year old vines, from Fourchaume, perhaps the best known of all the Chablis premier cru, and without a doubt, the closest in style to Grand Cru. 8 months vinification in 70% stainless, then another 12 months in the tank to marry. Old vine fruit, fresh and deep, precise and elegant white peach and pear, floral notes. With beautiful richness, citric but suave, and a lovely saline minerality at the end. Superb.
Domaine Des Malandes Chablis 1er Cru 'Mont de Milieu' 2023
With southern exposition, just like the Grand Cru, and 35 year old vines, this Mont de Milieu is vinified like a Grand Cru with 8 months in 70% stainless and another 6 months to develop. This is a wine with a strong personality, rich and elegant, developing from a fruit and minerality attack that is consistent through mid-palate and carried trough to a very long and elegant finish.
