Chablis, Burgundy
Château de Maligny
The historic signature of Jean Durup Père et Fils: Chablis wines from well-exposed, stony slopes, shaped by freshness, tension, and mineral depth.
Estate History
A winegrowing family since 1560.
Domaine Jean Durup Père et Fils presents its story as a family transmission carried from father to son across fifteen generations. In 1968, Jean Durup took over two family hectares and gradually rebuilt the vineyard of Château de Maligny.
His work on abandoned parcels, often very steep and difficult to cultivate, earned him the nickname "Fou de Maligny". Today, Jean-Paul and Valérie Durup carry this family legacy forward.

Values
Perseverance, precision, and loyalty to Chablis tradition.

Temperature-controlled stainless steel vinification is highlighted by the domaine as a way to preserve the freshness and minerality of its Chablis wines.
Terroir
Steep, stony slopes rich in mineral character.
Château de Maligny wines come from vines located within the communes of the Chablis appellation. The domaine highlights well-exposed slopes, stony soils rich in minerals, and parcels that can reach 45 to 52 degrees of incline.
