Sociando-Mallet

Case Format: 75cl

Max score: 92

Drink To: 2030-2060

Located on the Butte de Baleyron – one of the finest gravelly terroirs in the Médoc - Château Sociando-Mallet is a 117 hectare estate that has continued to make its distinctive and beautiful wines since the 17th century. Its terroir consists of Gunz gravel over a deep layer of clay-limestone soil, which sees its Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot thrive. The vineyard is planted to Merlot (c.55%), Cabernet Sauvignon (c.40%), and Cabernet Franc (c.5%). Located far north of the Left Bank, Sociando-Mallet benefits from a cooler climate than most of its neighbours, meaning that it usually performs well during hot dry years. 95% of the harvest is aged in 100% new French oak barrels, whilst the remainder takes place in vats for an average of 12 months. The end result is a flavoursome wine whose complex bouquet is full of black fruits, minerality and warm oak. These fresh, balanced wines age perfectly, and can be enjoyed up to 30 years after bottling.

The 2022 Sociando-Mallet was picked 7-23 September at just 22hL/ha. This is very concentrated and quite opulent on the nose, bit of a bravura bouquet, layers of black cherry, Christmas cake and light undergrowth scents. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins. Quite fresh, grippy in the mouth, my only quibble is that it feels a tad abrupt on the finish. Barrel maturation should address that.
