Château Sociando Mallet 2016 (double magnum, 3 L, OWC)

Tasting notes

This Haut-Médoc displays a deep garnet color with violet hues. The intense nose reveals aromas of blackberry, blueberry, prune, licorice, and smoky notes. On the palate, the attack is lively and dense, with a creamy texture and granular tannins that soften on the finish. Excellent aromatic intensity with remarkable persistence. Aged for 12 months in new oak barrels, it strikes a perfect balance between power and elegance. Pairs well with red meats and aged cheeses. Aging potential: 15–20 years. A structured and promising vintage.

INFORMATIONS ABOUT THE ESTATE

Since M. Jean Gautreau took over Château Sociando Mallet in 1969, he has done everything to try to restore its original character.

The vineyard has been reconstitued. Today it spreads accross 50 hectares of gravel outcrops lying on a clay bed bordering the river and is planted of Cabernet-Sauvignon, Cabernet franc and Merlot. It is this harmonious blend based on Cabernet-Sauvignon which has mode the prestigious wines of Médoc so famous.

Château Sociando Mallet produces full-bodied wines with a lovely deep dark colour outstanding for its special bouquet dominated, inter alia, by a delicate fragance of raspberrries.

In their youth, the wines tend to be rather virile but they mature remarkably well in the typical Haut-Médoc "old-fashioned" style, that is to say wines for laying down.
