CHATEAU DE MALIGNY
CHABLIS PREMIER CRU MONTMAIN
The Durup family, winegrowers from father to son, have been cultivating vines in Chablis for fifteen generations. The succession of Jean Durup, who reconstituted the vineyard of Château de Maligny, is ensured by Jean-Paul and Valérie Durup, assisted by Romain Ménissier, operations director. The different wines marketed under the prestigious labels “Château de Maligny”, with the best exposures, and “Églantière” all come from the unique variety of grape varieties used in Chablis: Chardonnay.
The Chablis Premier Cru « Montmain » is one of the most renowned Premier Crus of Chablis. The “Montmains” are located on a medium-size hill between parcels of “Vaillons” and “Chablis”. The original name was “the Mont moyen” and became “Montmain” through the centuries.
The Chablis Premier Cru Montmains is a wine a bit heavier than the other Chablis. Deep and very subtle, its characteristics are often neighbouring to those of the best white wines harvested in Côte d’Or.
