About Winery
Domaine des Malandes is a family-run estate in Chablis, founded in 1972 by Lyne Marchive, daughter of André Tremblay, who had assembled much of the vineyard land in the 1940s and 1950s. The name “Malandes,” meaning “bad land,” refers to stony ground once considered unsuitable for farming but ideal for vines. Over the decades, the domaine grew to 29 hectares, producing wines celebrated for their freshness and minerality, rooted in the Kimmeridgian soils of Chablis. In 2006, winemaking was entrusted to oenologist Guénolé Breteaudeau, whose precise style aligned with Marchive’s vision of terroir-driven Chablis. Lyne retired in 2018, passing the estate to her children, Richard Rottiers and Amandine Marchive, who continue the family tradition while converting the vineyards to organic farming.
