Full Product Description

Malandes Chablis Envers de Valmur 2023 is a refined French white wine from Chablis in Burgundy, made from Chardonnay. This cuvée offers a classic Chablis profile with bright citrus fruit, crisp acidity, and the flinty, chalky minerality that makes the region famous. Vivino lists Domaine des Malandes Envers de Valmur Chablis as a white wine from Bourgogne, France, made from Chardonnay, with frequent tasting mentions of apple, green apple, and pear.

The 2023 vintage shows freshness and concentration, with notes of citrus, grapefruit, melon, green apple, pear, Granny Smith apple, crushed stone, wet stone, flint, and a delicate saline character. From Vineyards Direct describes the 2023 wine with melon skin, citrus, grapefruit, and an almost saline ocean-like note, while Pogo’s Wine highlights Vinous notes of crushed stone, Granny Smith apple, crisp acidity, lively texture, and a poised finish.

On the palate, it is fresh, vibrant, mineral, and well-balanced, with the warm 2023 vintage adding a touch of ripe fruit while maintaining Chablis’ signature precision and acidity. Le Bourguignon describes the 2023 as complex, concentrated, intense, supple, fresh, and long, while Pisteur de Crus notes that the 2023 Envers de Valmur received a Gold Medal at the Chablis Wine Competition, if you want to include this award after confirming for your listing.

This is a great choice for customers looking for a premium Chablis that is more expressive and site-specific than a basic village Chablis, while still fresh, elegant, and food-friendly.
