Château Sociando Mallet 2006

Tasting notes

"Tasted blind at Farr Vintners' 2006 tasting, the 2006 Château Sociando Mallet displayed a lifted and sprightly bouquet with black fruit, scorched earth, fresh mint and smoky aromas - quasi-Pauillac in style. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin and a keen line of acidity, fresh in the mouth with a saline tincture towards the composed finish. There is impressive freshness here, not overly complex for sure, but it conveys energy. Drink now and over the next decade."

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.
