Sociando Mallet takes its name from two previous owners. A nobleman known as Sociando held the property in 1633. Over a century later, the second part of the estates name came from a captain in the navy who owned the estate by the name of Mallet. It was Mallet who put the two names together to form Sociando Mallet. The modern era of Chateau Sociando Mallet began in 1969, when it was purchased by Jean Gautreau from the Tereygeol family.

Tasting Notes:

(2008)
Deep and dark colour, aromas of little red fruits and well integrated fine oaky touch. Full bodied, straight and elegant, with a lot of freshness and depth.

(2016)
It has a very intense and rich, you might say “ambitious” bouquet with layers of small black cherries, blueberry and a touch of sloes, less tertiary than previous vintages and certainly more opulent. The palate is medium-bodied with juicy ripe tannin that almost disguise the firm structure underneath.
