The first traces of
vines at Malle go back to the 15th Century. It is generally
thought that until the middle of the 17th Century the
white wines in the Sauternes region were actually dry
wines, and the oldest known and direct reference to a
vintage of sweet wines goes back to 1666. The 1855 classification
served as confirmation of the great quality of the sweet
white wine of Château de Malle.
