Sad reports on chateauroux.maville and on VICVL that Arnaud Malbète, a 34 year old producer in Reuilly was killed when his car left the road around 5.15am on Saturday morning (6th February). He was returning after a night out in Bourges when his car left the road and hit a lamppost. Domaine Malbète has ten hectares of vines.

Bob. I don't remember ever tasting wines from this estate, although it possible I tasted a red or so as part of the big tasting I did in Sancerre in mid-December 2008.
