Château de Malle has been in the de Malle family since the 17th century, when Jacques de Malle, president of the parliament of Bordeaux, built the estate. The 125-acre estate has vineyards in the villages of Preignac, Fargues and Toulenne, and was designated as a Grand Cru Classé de Sauternes in the 1855 classification. In the 1950s the estate passed to Pierre de Bournazel, nephew of the owner. Today the estate is run by the current generation of de Bournazel family. Château de Malle produces Graves red and white wines as well as Sauternes. The Sauternes often earn ratings in the low to mid-90s from reviewers.
