ALAIN DE LA TREILLE was born in 1925 in Saint Georges sur Cher located in the heart of the Touraine Vineyard. 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 from Saint Georges sur Cher. They became good friends, and could spend hours talking about Loire Valley wines style, terroir and how to improve the vinification process...
When he died in 1985, Jean-Claude Bougrier decided to create a wine brand to pay tribute to his good friend.
ALAIN DE LA TREILLE wines were born.
Noël BOUGRIER - the fifth generation of the family - gave a new dimension to the family estate when he took over in 1988.
First of all, it made it possible to realize the dream of the previous generations by widening the wine growing area of the estate to the entire Loire Valley - from Sancerre to the Pays Nantais with the creations of 3 cellars.
In 2015, Nicolas BOUGRIER joined the family estate. Today 2 generations work side by side to carry out their only goal: to reveal the best expression of the Loire Valley with the greatest respect for the people and the soil.
Sophie BOUGRIER, Nicolas's sister, is never far away to represent the family estate in France and abroad.
