Varietal

Red Bordeaux

There are few regions in the world with stricter regulations in regards to wine production and grape varietals than those found in Bordeaux, France. Here, in the home of the world's finest wines, the type and quality of grapes used is of utmost importance, and the legendary wineries which work on the banks of the Gironde river have mastered the careful art of juice blending to find the perfect balance for their produce. Whilst there are six 'official' Bordeaux grapes, the two key varietals for almost every fine Bordeaux wine are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and with good reason. Whilst Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are renowned for their acidity and astringency, strong fruit and spice flavors and full body, Merlot grapes are notably rounded, soft, fleshy and lighter on tannin. The combination of these two varietals, along with a small percentage of (commonly) Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc, is the perfect balancing act â€“ the two grape varietals cancel out each others weaker points, and accentuate all that is good about the other.

Appellation

Haut Medoc

Haut-Médoc, a distinguished appellation within Bordeaux's Left Bank, epitomizes the timeless elegance and structure of Cabernet Sauvignon-based wines. What makes Haut-Médoc unique is its prestigious terroir, encompassing renowned communes like Margaux and Pauillac, where gravelly soils and maritime influences from the Gironde estuary converge to create optimal grape-growing conditions. The wines of Haut-Médoc are predominantly blends of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. This assemblage yields wines with firm tannins, dark fruit flavors, and a characteristic cedar or tobacco note. Haut-Médoc is home to several classified growths, including illustrious châteaux like Lafite Rothschild and Latour, showcasing the region's commitment to excellence. Exploring Haut-Médoc offers wine enthusiasts a journey into the heart of Bordeaux winemaking, where centuries of tradition, meticulous vineyard management, and the art of blending converge to produce wines of exceptional depth, complexity, and age-worthy character.

Classic Bordeaux nose with graphite, lead pencil and cassis. Almost full body, with firm, tightly wound tannins and a structured, mineral-expressive finish. 55% merlot, 40% cabernet sauvignon and 5% cabernet franc. Drink from 2026. From a vertical tasting at the winery.

Barrel Sample. This wine offers a blackberry fruit flavor framed by crisp acidity and fine-grained tannins. It has a dry core, with plenty of spice and fruit tones to broaden it out.

The 2017 Sociando-Mallet has turned out well. Pliant and supple on the palate, the 2017 has quite a bit of aromatic complexity as well. I would prefer to drink it on the young side given its mid-weight structure. The 2017 is not quite as overt as it was en primeur, but it is impeccably balanced and very nicely done. Cool savory accents round out the finish.

One of the most iconic names in Haut-Médoc, this has depth, linearity and good fruit. It is well-handled, with slatey minerality providing a springboard for the cassis fruits, but finishes a little too rapidly. A touch of Cabernet Franc adds a floral touch to the near-even pairing of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. I'd still go with the 2016, but this will be ready to enjoy sooner.
