At a good discount to the regular Chablis, this pure Chardonnay is an excellent everyday wine.

Release Notes:
We do not usually feature Petit Chablis, the least expensive of the four Chablis produced, because, as a product of young vines, it normally has too much acidity, without accompanying elements to create balance. But, when a particularly good vintage comes along, like this one, Petit Chablis can present an excellent value for its price. While Malandes’ 2006 Petit Chablis is not as complex or age-worthy as their regular Chablis, it is balanced with good fruit and minerality. All of Domaine des Malandes' wines are aged entirely in stainless steel (no wood – except for the Grand Cru) preserving a great mineral character.
Tasting Notes:
A light gold color, the region’s influences come through in the elegant nose of white fruits, apples, minerals and white flowers. The wine has a rich, complex and mineral palate with good fruit concentration and acidity – that classic Chablis verve. Serve with seafood, turkey, chicken, salads and white meats, or as an aperitif.
