WINE MAKING PROCESS
Domaine des Malandes Petit Chablis is produced from 100% Chardonnay grapes. The wine undergoes fermentation in stainless steel tanks, a technique chosen to maintain its freshness and mineral character. After fermentation, it is aged for 6-8 months in stainless steel, allowing it to develop tension while preserving its vibrant profile. The estate employs machine harvesting, with a focus on selecting perfectly ripe berries to ensure optimal acidity. The producer is committed to organic viticulture, utilizing practices such as cover crops and a massal selection program for Chardonnay. The overall winemaking approach emphasizes minimal intervention to allow the expression of the Chablis terroir.
