Domaine Alain Malet Reserve Touraine Sauvigon Blanc 2022
Touraine AOC
Loading...
Domaine Malet’s standard Touraine Sauvignon is a delicious, citrusy white, and this Réserve takes it a step up in concentration. Flinty intensity, elegant minerality, superbly refreshing. It’s easily a rival to the pricy wines of next door Sancerre.
We're sorry, this wine is sold out.
But don't worry, you'll find plenty more handpicked wines here.

The Wine
Touraine lies in eastern Loire, close to the Central Vineyards, and its best wines, like the Malet Réserve, comfortably give Sancerre a run for its money. For three generations the Malet family have grown top-quality grapes on classic chalk and flint-rich soils to sell to other estates. Then, in 2001, brothers Alain and Bruno Malet took control and started making wine under their own name. They now make two levels of Sauvignon: standard Touraine, and their Réserve, for which they select grapes from older vines so the wine has even greater concentration. Our Buyer Samuel was very taken with both. This Réserve has a smoky-flint, citrus and herbal aroma with stony lemony intensity. A classic with seafood or warm goat’s cheese and pear salad.

A great French Sauvignon. Smooth and zesty – great value for money
