FR Château de Maligny Chablis Premier Cru Montmains

The Durup family, winegrowers from father to son, have been cultivating vines in Chablis for fifteen generations.  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.
