Domaine des Malandes Chablis 'Vaudésir' Grand Cru 2023
Vintage Character
2023 delivered one of the largest crops on record in Chablis, in places larger than any recent year. The summer was rainy and gave juicy grapes, then a sunny, hot end to the season ripened the fruit. The wines are generous and balanced, with quantity and quality arriving together for once. In 2023, the Chablis 'Vaudésir' Grand Cru from Domaine des Malandes reflects that season. Vaudésir is one of the seven grand cru climats of Chablis, and the wines combine richness with finesse. As a grand cru, it comes from the highest tier of the classification, which covers only a small share of the vineyards in the region. Chablis has just seven grand cru climats, all on a single slope above the town beside the Serein river.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
Lemon, white peach and pear lead, with white flowers, flint and a hint of crushed stone. It is dry and medium-to-full-bodied, with high acidity. The palate is dense and tense at once, with high acidity, fine lees texture and a long saline finish. With bottle age it develops hazelnut, honey, dried citrus and toast. Lobster, sea urchin and steamed turbot suit it well. Serve at about 8 to 10 degrees Celsius, and avoid over-chilling so the aromas can open.
Winery Background
Domaine des Malandes was created in 1972 by Lyne Marchive, whose father, André Tremblay, understood the potential of the Grand Cru vineyards at a time when most producers were selling these frost-prone parcels. The family estate farms about 29 hectares in Chablis and is known for freshness, finesse and minerality from Kimmeridgian soils. Guénolé Breteaudeau has made the wines since 2006, using oak in a delicate and measured way to support Marchive's vision of pure, precise and elegant Chablis. The estate was founded by a family that saw the potential of the grand cru parcels when many producers were selling them.
