The most famous unclassified château in the Médoc, from a vintage everyone wanted. Sociando-Mallet sits on a gravel rise at Saint-Seurin-de-Cadourne, just north of Saint-Estephe, and its late owner Jean Gautreau spent fifty years making a point: he refused to submit the wine for classification, convinced it didn't need the label. Most Bordeaux drinkers quietly agree — this is a Cabernet Sauvignon-led claret built with the structure and seriousness of a classed growth. 2016 was one of the best Bordeaux vintages of the century, giving ripe fruit, firm fine-grained tannins and real freshness all at once. It's a wine made to age, and at nearly a decade old it's only beginning to unwind. Decant it, give it air, and put something roasted next to it.

More about Chateau Sociando-Mallet

Sociando-Mallet is an unclassified estate which easily performs at a "cru classé" level, and even over certain 2nd and 3rd growth wines. If you dig the firm, gravelly style of left-bank Cabernet Sauvignon, you'll hard pressed to find a better value.
