Château Sociando-MalletLa Demoiselle de Sociando-Mallet 2017

About this wine

This second wine from the prestigious Château Sociando-Mallet offers you the classic elegance of Haut-Médoc at an accessible level. It's the perfect introduction to Left Bank Bordeaux, crafted with the same care as its big brother but designed to be enjoyed sooner.

The blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc delivers beautiful aromas of blackcurrant and cedar, with hints of graphite typical of the Médoc. On the palate, you'll find ripe dark fruits balanced by fine tannins and a refreshing finish. The wine shows lovely structure without being too heavy, making it approachable now while still having enough backbone to age gracefully for a few years.

This is your go-to wine for roasted lamb, grilled beef, or a classic French entrecôte café de Paris. Decant it for about an hour before serving at 16-18°C to let the wine express its full character. It also pairs beautifully with aged cheeses like Comté or a good cheddar.
