Da vinkøbmanden Jean Gautreau i 1969 tog over, var marker og bygninger i sørgelig stand. Vennerne Jean-Paul Gardère (Latour) og Jean-Michel </span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Cazes (Lynch-Bages) fik overbevist den i dag pensionerede Jean Gautreau om de grusholdige markers exceptionelle beliggenhed, stik nord for nogle St-Estèphes topslotte. Resten er historie, og i dag drives </span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">vinslottet af datteren Sophie. </span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Selvom Sociando-Mallet på flere områder er fulgt med tiden, hyldes slottet og vinen ofte af ”traditionalister”, der værdsætter elegance og finesse fremfor power og fylde. </span></span></p> <h2><strong><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Anmeldelser af La Demoiselle de Sociando-Mallet Haut-Mèdoc 2020</span></span></strong></h2> <p><em><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>92-93/100 James Suckling</strong></span><br />"This is full and velvety with so much fruit and intensity. Ripe tannins give this nice form and plushness with plenty of fruit in the center palate. Second wine of Sociando-Mallet."</span></span></em></p> <p><em><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>90/100 Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider</strong></span><br />"Soft, round, lush, fruity and polished, the wine is forward, medium-bodied and already expressive with its dark red fruits, spice and tobacco character. Enjoy this while waiting for the Grand Vin to develop."</span></span></em></p> <p><em><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>90/100 Izak Litwar</strong></span><br />"87% Merlot + 13% Cabernet Sauvignon. Second wine of Sociando Mallet. There is over 20% more Merlot in the blend than the 2018 vintage. Blackcurrants and cherries covered with chocolate on the nose, lively, well-knitted on the palate with a silky texture, delicate balance and persistent finish. 90p."</span></span></em></p> <h2><strong><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Om Château Sociando-Mallet</span></span></strong></h2> <p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><em>”Sociando is evidently of classified growth quality" <strong>/ Stephen Brooks</strong></em></span></p> <p><em><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><strong>Grand Vin: </strong>Château Sociando-Mallet, Haut-Médoc</span></span></em><br /><em><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><strong>2.
