The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Chateau Sociando-Mallet has a worldwide reputation and offers one of the best value for money in Bordeaux. Located north of Saint-Estephe, its geology is similar in every way to that of Château Latour. A visionary winemaker, Jean Gautreau acquired the estate in 1969 and set it on its path to excellence.
Wine Skillfully profiled, the 2013 Red Château Sociando Mallet Haut-Médoc distinguishes itself by its finesse and suppleness. On this vintage of great elegance, less tannic than others, it opens with grace and expresses wonderfully nuanced perfumes of ripe fruits and sweet spices. We can taste the style of the chateau which we adore so much, between classicism, straightforwardness and undeniable charm. A bottle that can be enjoyed at once!
Vinification Hand harvested. Traditional vinification in cement and stainless steel vats. Aged for 12 months in new barrels.
