Haut Medoc is Left Bank's largest appellation yet curiously underrated thanks to is illustrious neighbours. The terroir contains potential to yield Cabernets Sauvignon driven wines that can age for decades. And this is where Chateau Sociando-Mallet has been making wines true to terroir since the 1970s when it was founded by visionary Bordelais Jean Gautreau. His selection of vineyards close to the Gironde estuary on primarily gravel soil has led to this deliciously Cabernet dominated blend that displays intense colour and exquisite length. Savour this stellar age-worthy Bordeaux.
