"Alain de la Treille was born in 1925 in Saint-Georges-sur-Cher, located in the heart of the Touraine vineyards. A farmer and wine enthusiast, he spent his life promoting the Touraine area and Loire Valley wines. During his career, he met Jean-Claude Bougrier, a winemaker also from Saint-Georges-sur-Cher. They became good friends who could spend hours talking about Loire Valley style, terroir and how to improve the vinification process. When Alain passed away in 1985, Jean-Claude decided to create a wine brand to pay tribute to his good friend, and Alain de la Treille wines were born.

It is a pale, yellow Sauvignon Blanc with a nose unfolding grapefruit, lemon and crushed stone aromas. The taste is crisp with flavors of white stone fruit, flowers and grapefruit."
