Château de Maligny Chablis 1er Cru Fourchaume

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 Fourchaume is the most famous and the most commercial one of the Premiers Crus of Chablis, due first to its area (130 hectares for 850 hectares of Premiers Crus) and to its closeness to the Grands Crus. With 18 hectares planted in the appellation Chablis Premier Cru Fourchaume, Durup estate is the major producer of this appellation in the area.
The wine produced in this appellation is certainly the rounder of all those ones produced in the Chablis vineyard. It is also the suppler but with a good structure typical of the Premiers Crus.
