Malet Sauvignon Touraine

Winemaker Alain & Bruno Malet on the winery

“We are Alain and Bruno Malet, the third generation of winemakers at our family estate in Lye, in the Loire Valley. Since 2001, we have worked independently, producing our own wines from vineyards mainly in Touraine, with additional parcels in Valençay. We combine the experience passed down through our family with a modern approach in both vineyard and cellar. We pay particular attention to healthy soils and careful grape growing, allowing our wines to express the character of their origin.”

And on Touraine, France

“Our Touraine Sauvignon is made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc, grown in vineyards with clay, limestone and flint-rich soils. This combination gives the wine its distinctive Loire character. After harvesting, we ferment the grapes at controlled temperatures to preserve their fresh aromas. The wine then spends around six months ageing on fine lees, adding roundness and texture without losing the lively character of Sauvignon Blanc. In the glass, you’ll find citrus and tropical fruit, followed by a fresh, flavourful finish.”
