The structure and balance of a Haut-Médoc wine
The estate
Dominating the Gironde estuary for nearly three centuries, the Château Sociando-Mallet is one of the most respected estates in the Haut-Médoc. Owned by Sieur Sociando in the 17th century, the Mallet family added their name after acquiring the estate in the 19th century. Since 1969, the Gautreau family has been infusing their passion and energy into this iconic property on the left bank of Bordeaux.
The vineyard
The Château Sociando-Mallet 2023 is a Haut-Médoc wine from a 75-hectare vineyard located at the top of the Baleyron hill, in the commune of Saint-Seurin-de-Cadourne. The vines, which are on average 35 years old, are planted on a gravel and clay terroir resting on a clay-limestone subsoil.
Vinification and ageing
The grapes are hand-harvested and sorted on a table before and after destemming. Traditional vinification in thermoregulated cement and stainless steel vats, accompanied by pump-overs and rack and returns. Maceration for 25 days. Malolactic fermentation in vats. The ageing lasts 12 months in barrels, 80% of which are new.
Blend
This Sociando-Mallet 2023 is a blend of Merlot (50%), Cabernet Sauvignon (47%) and Cabernet Franc (3%).
