How to serve it
Tasting notes
Pale lemon-gold. An expressive nose of grapefruit, white peach, chamomile and the flinty, iodine note of good Chablis. The palate is dry and tightly wound, with vivid acidity and a saline, chalky mid-palate that gives it more weight than a typical village wine. A long, mineral finish, clean and persistent.
About this wine
Envers de Valmur is a single parcel lying on the shaded reverse slope of the Grand Cru Valmur. Classified as village Chablis, it nonetheless shares the same Kimmeridgian limestone and much of the character of its illustrious neighbour.
Domaine des Malandes keeps the winemaking deliberately plain so the site can be read clearly: hand-sorted fruit, fermentation in stainless steel and extended ageing on the fine lees, with no oak at any stage. Cooler exposure means slower ripening, and the wine shows the tension and length that follow from it.
