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.
The wine appears in the glass with a lovely purple hue with garnet highlights. On the nose, it offers a superb expression of ripe fruit, where notes of blackcurrant, blueberry and blackberry blend harmoniously. Empyreumatic notes of toast/smoke appear in the background, adding depth. The palate is supple on the attack, with a melting body. Well-integrated, velvety tannins give a silky mouthfeel. A fine tension provides the necessary balance and lasts right through to the very persistent finish on greedy aromas.
