Chateau Sociando-Mallet Cuvee Jean Gautreau Haut-Medoc 2003

Jean Gautreau worked as a negociant and later started his own firm in the late 1950s. Later he started a mobile bottling service in Bordeaux and eventually bought Sociando Mallet in 1969. Since that time, the estate has had a complete makeover and has expanded from the original 7 hectare to almost 85 today!

Beautifully mature Bordeaux from an icon of the Medoc, the warm and sunny vintage gave this often rustic estate, forward charm and a fruity quality that you do not always find in this wine. Sociando's signature backbone, minerality, tannin and acid spine have allowed this wine to hold up quite nicely over the years. This is a recent re-release from the Chateau, directly from their cold cellar just months ago, ready for immediate enjoyment!
