Château Sociando-MalletBordeaux, France
Tobacco leaf, cigar wrapper, fresh herbs and black currant are at the core of the wine. Full-bodied, powerful, tannic and juicy! The wine has a solid depth of flavour and a long, chewy blast of ripe red fruits in the endnote.
Best known in Loire Valley, Bordeaux
Lighter and more fragrant than its famous offspring, Cabernet Sauvignon. Red berries, violets, graphite and a leafy freshness. In the Loire it shines on its own; in Bordeaux it adds perfume to the blend.
Best known in Bordeaux, Napa Valley, Coonawarra
The backbone of Bordeaux and the world's most famous red grape. Blackcurrant, cedar and firm tannins, with real ageing potential. Riper climates give plusher fruit; cooler ones more structure and leafy freshness.
Best known in Bordeaux, Italy, Chile
Soft, round and approachable. Plum, black cherry and chocolate, with gentle tannins and a plush texture. It leads the blends of Bordeaux's Right Bank, including Pomerol and Saint-Émilion, and makes generous, easy-drinking reds all over the world.
France
The world's most famous wine region. Left bank: Cabernet-led, structured, age-worthy. Right bank: Merlot-forward, plush, generous. The greatest châteaux set the global benchmark for red wine; the Entre-Deux-Mers makes brilliant dry whites.

More from Château Sociando-Mallet →Located in the heart of the Haut-Médoc appellation, Château Sociando-Mallet is part of the history of the Gironde. The property has a vineyard of 83 hectares of vines planted on one of the most beautiful gravelly soils in the appellation, benefiting both from sunshine and a regular supply of water thanks to its proximity to the Gironde river. Blend of 66% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Cabernet Franc. After harvesting in crates and sorting both before and after de-stemming, this Bordeaux red wine was vinified in thermo-regulated inert vats and then aged 90% in new barrels.
