We no longer present Sociando-Mallet, which should be in a good place in the cellar of any wine lover, as the quality and above all the regularity of its last thirty vintages are so impressive. Without wishing to underestimate the hard work of the late Mr Gautreau since 1969, it must be said that the terroir, against the Gironde on a gravelly ridge comparable to that of Montrose, is indeed that of a Grand Cru Classé. Unavoidable 2016, the greatest wine of Sociando-Mallet since 1996.
- To keep or to drink :
- Wait 3 to 5 years
- Apogée :
- 2027-2040

Rated 93/100 by N. MARTIN «The 2020 Sociando Mallet has retained its impressive aromatics from its showing in barrel with beautifully defined blackberry and raspberry fruit, pressed violet and light cedar aromas the palate is medium-bodied with firm backbone, a little powdery in texture, fine backbone with ample freshness and tension towards its graphite-infused finish. Bravo!» (December 2022)

The 2019 vintage is rated 94/100 by Neal Martin « The palate is structured, with firm grip, very well-judged acidity, good substance and a cohesive, black-pepper- and pencil-lead-tinged finish that has real length. Top-drawer Sociando-Mallet. » (Feb. 2022)
Rated 90/100 by M. Quarin «Beau nez très aromatique, fruité et subtil. Nuances fines de gelée de mûres.» (April 2022)

Rated 94/100 by La Revue du Vin de France «Les amateurs avisés le savent, Sociando-Mallet, marque largement diffusée en France, est un vin d'un rapport qualité/prix remarquable.[..] les derniers millésimes semblent un peu moins profonds, mais demeurent très agréables, parfaits à boire dans la décennie, comme en 2018 au velouté séduisant.» (December 2022)
