The estate and the wine |
|
|
Château Sociando-Mallet is renowned worldwide for offering some of the finest value among the great Bordeaux estates. Located just north of Saint-Estèphe, its terroir shares striking similarities with the prestigious Château Latour. Since acquiring the estate in 1969, the visionary Jean Gautreau transformed it into a benchmark for quality, securing its status as a standout in Bordeaux. |

Skillfully crafted, the 2013 Red Château Sociando-Mallet Haut-Médoc stands out for its finesse and supple texture. In this elegantly understated vintage, with softer tannins than usual, the wine displays remarkable grace, beautifully unfolding layers of ripe fruit aromas and subtle sweet spices. It perfectly embodies the signature style of the estate—a captivating blend of classic structure, precision, and undeniable charm. This is a bottle ready to be enjoyed now, with no need for further cellaring. |
