The domaine farms organically and focuses on precise, site-specific wines that let each climat speak clearly. Their lineup reads like a tour of the appellation's best slopes, and Vau de Vey has long been one of its standouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVau de Vey is one of the most striking Premier Cru vineyards on the Left Bank of the Serein, a steep, east-facing slope that reaches a 50% incline in places, with Kimmeridgian limestone marl breaking through at the surface. The exposure brings gentle morning sun while sparing the vines the harsh late-afternoon heat, which keeps the wines taut and aromatic. The 2023 fermented with native yeasts, then aged 10 to 12 months on fine lees, about 60% in stainless steel and 40% in neutral French oak barrels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteep-slope Premier Cru Chablis with crystalline tension and a pure, chalky core.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAromas of green apple, lemon oil, and white flowers, edged with crushed oyster shell.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeutral oak and time on the lees add a satiny texture without masking the fruit or the mineral detail.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA long, saline finish with a distinct thread of gunflint.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrganic farming and a light touch in the cellar make this a clear, honest read of one of Chablis's great sites.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow To Serve It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eServe chilled, between 48°F and 52°F.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDecant for 15 minutes to let the tight limestone notes and orchard fruit open up.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePour into all-purpose stems to gather its high-toned aromatics.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePair with freshly shucked oysters, pan-seared sea scallops, halibut in lemon-brown butter, or a creamy, ash-ripened goat cheese.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SommSelect","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48024235049014,"sku":"SOMM2610-DDM23VAUVEY-750","price":64.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/3628\/8822\/files\/2023DomainedesMalandes_Chablis1erCruVaudeVey.png?v=1791487212","url":"https:\/\/sommselect.com\/products\/2023-domaine-des-malandes-chablis-1er-cru-vau-de-vey","provider":"SommSelect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
