Avis d'expert

16,5/20

Jancis Robinson

(09-2009) Deep bright crimson. Not much nose. Rather severe – certainly none of the lushness evident in many other 1989 bordeaux. Sweet palate entry and then dusty tannins. This vintage lacks the freshness that is the usual hallmark of this property. There's a lot of density but not that much precision, and a rather unappetising, hot finish. A disappointment compared with the vintage reputation.

90 / 100

Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate

(10-2010) Served by Jean Gautreau at the chateau, the 1989 Sociando-Mallet has those telltale signs of bell pepper and earth on the nose, the fruit in the background at first but developing with aeration, offering blackberry leaf and a touch of Doris plum. The palate is medium-bodied with quite firm, rigid tannins and it does not really mellow in the glass, but sits up with a straight back. Masculine but with ample fruit, very fresh and crisp towards the finish. I do not think this will get any better and one could argue that it lacks a little weight, but it is a lovely Sociando.

Wine Spectator

(05-1999) Slightly one-dimensional but fresh and delicious. Dark-ruby color, and a lovely fresh berry, raspberry and floral nose. Medium-bodied, with silky tannins and a medium, fruity aftertaste.

Château informations

Château Sociando Mallet

Chateau Sociando-Mallet Cru Bourgeois Haut-Medoc wine from the Gironde. Chateau Sociando-Mallet is a wine prized by lovers of fine wines, as evidenced by its annual sales success in futures. The wine of Jean Gautreau is a great forgotten the 1855 classification. Because it is not formally part of the nobility of the Crus of the Medoc - even as it competes more than one. - Chateau Sociando-Mallet must remain prudent in its price level. It offers one of the best price-pleasure of all the great Bordeaux!.
