Château Sociando Mallet
Haut Medoc
Description
An unclassified Médoc property that can rival the greatest Médoc wines… This domain’s vineyards sit on some of the gravel terrois in Médoc. Long run by its signature owner, Jean Gautreau, who bought the property in 1969, it’s now his daughter Sylvie who sits at the helm after the passing of her father in 2019.
This domain is a valued Bordeaux producer with beautiful round, seducing and fresh wines which have great ageing potential.
James Suckling : “This is very classic Sociando with brightness and linearity to the wine, as well as blackcurrants and a citrus undertone. Medium-bodied with refined tannins. Long, very crisp and fresh. Lower pH here of 3.55.”
