Malandes

In the matter of wine-making, Domaine des Malandes' main objective consists in leaving a maximum of possibilities to the soil to express itself.
 
Chablis has the good fortune of possessing a unique type of soil called Kimmeridgian which confers to its wine its mineral and vivid tastes. 

Constantly during the vegetative period, the Domaine des Malandes' team controls the vine's foliage and fruit, and uses effectively the integrated pest management. So when harvest time arrives, the grapes reach optimal maturities and qualities. In the cellar, a lot of care is taken of vinification. Jean-Bernard Marchive's interventions as a wine-maker do not mark the wines but on the contrary leave them a chance of asserting their own character.
