Chateau Sociando Mallet 2014 (1x75cl)

Château Sociando-Mallet is famous in Bordeaux circles for beating Grand Cru Classé bottles in blind tastings while keeping a sensible price tag. The 2014 vintage is in a sweet spot right now, delivering deep cassis, dark plum, and classic pencil shavings notes.

Pop this open for a big steak dinner, a weekend roast, or when you want to impress wine-loving friends without blowing the budget. It brings serious Left Bank muscle and elegance in equal measure.

Tasting notes

Expect juicy blackcurrants, dark cherries, and a touch of smoky cedar on the nose. On the palate, it is rich, balanced, and remarkably smooth with a long, savoury finish that begs for another glass.
