A complex bouquet of blackcurrant and blackberry, threaded with sweet spice, a touch of peppermint, graphite and licorice. Medium-to-full bodied on the palate with dense, saturated tannins — saturated but ripe — wrapping blackcurrant and raspberry fruit laced with cedar and black pepper. Long, stony and serious on the finish, unmistakably Sociando. Built to age: decant 60 minutes now, or cellar 5-10 years and drink well into the 2030s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNotes\u003c\/b\u003e: The 2019 blends roughly half Cabernet Sauvignon with 40% Merlot and small portions of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, from the estate’s gravel and clay-limestone parcels in the far north of the Médoc at Saint-Seurin-de-Cadourne. Hand-harvested and long-macerated, with 12+ months in French oak — the house’s signature is extraction and terroir over polish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFood Pairing\u003c\/b\u003e: Excellent with rib of beef, roast leg of lamb, duck confit, game, and aged Comté or Bleu.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWinery Story\u003c\/b\u003e: Château Sociando-Mallet is the Médoc’s proudest outsider — never part of the 1855 classification, and unbothered. Since 1969 the Gautrau family has built one of Bordeaux’s most loyal followings on densely structured, ageworthy reds that consistently out-perform their cru classé neighbors’ price tags; it reaches the US through importer Monsieur Touton.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Monsieur Touton","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50390404727041,"sku":"CHATEAUSOCIANDOMALLET","price":62.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0149\/9247\/4212\/files\/chateau-sociando-mallet-2013.jpg?v=1790329690","url":"https:\/\/arrowine.com\/products\/chateau-sociando-mallet-2019","provider":"Arrowine \u0026 Cheese","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
