Château Sociando-Mallet 2016

Haut-Médoc

92-94/100 Parker

In the heart of Haut-Médoc, Château Sociando-Mallet is a sure bet for lovers of distinguished Bordeaux wines, combining power, freshness, and finesse. Located in Saint-Seurin-de-Cadourne, on superb gravelly soil with a clay-limestone subsoil, this independent estate embodies the elegance of the left bank.

Since the 1960s, under the leadership of Jean Gautreau, Sociando-Mallet has risen to the ranks of the greatest unclassified Bordeaux wines. The estate mainly grows Cabernet Sauvignon, complemented by Merlot and a hint of Cabernet Franc. The wine is aged in the traditional way, with 50% of the barrels being new, which gives it a beautiful structure and great aging potential.

This wine seduces with its depth, straightforward tannic structure, and great aromatic precision: blackcurrant, graphite, licorice, hints of violet, and a mineral finish. On tasting, we discover a firm, classic style that gains complexity with age.

At Comptoir des Millésimes, we offer several vintages of Château Sociando-Mallet, all stored in optimal conditions. A gem for lovers of old-fashioned Bordeaux, offering excellent value for money. Open after a few years of aging, or decant to enjoy its youthful exuberance.
