Since the 17th century, Sociando-Mallet has occupied the Baleyron hillock, one of the finest gravel terroirs in the Médoc.
Located in the commune of Saint-Seurin-de-Cadourne, north of Pauillac, its vineyard overlooks the Gironde estuary, nestled in the hollow of the curve the river draws there.
The Sociando-Mallet terroir is made up of gravel from the Guntzian era, on a deep clay-limestone subsoil.
It enables the Cabernet Sauvignon to ripen in excellent conditions and the Merlot to acquire depth and complexity, while perfectly regulating the vine's water supply.
This terroir is the soul of Sociando wines, which owe their complex structure, freshness and elegance to it.
Vineyard size: 77 hectares in production
Varietal grape varieties: 55% Merlot, 43% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Cabernet Franc.
With 2024, overlooking the Gironde estuary, Château Sociando-Mallet delivers a new interpretation of its terroir of gravel and clay on limestone subsoil. A soil which, despite the vagaries of the vintage, favored regular ripening and fresh berries.
The blend, dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon (53%), is complemented by Merlot (42%) and Cabernet Franc (5%), for an assertive structure and a dense, but not excessive mouthfeel. The wine seduces with its intensity, straightforwardness and ability to age gracefully.
Grown using reasoned methods, without anti-botrytis treatment, and vinified with precision under the eye of Thomas Duclos, this 2024 reveals the rigor and sincerity of a great classic from Haut-Médoc, with a personality as assertive as ever.
