La Demoiselle de Sociando-Mallet - Haut-Médoc - Red - 2019 :

 

Discover La Demoiselle: Haut-Médoc Elegance

La Demoiselle de Sociando Mallet is the highly sought-after second wine from the renowned Château Sociando Mallet, a Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel-level estate in the Haut-Médoc. The wine's name, 'La Demoiselle,' refers to the graceful dragonfly found across the Médoc, symbolising the wine's light, elegant, and early-drinking style.

Produced from younger vines and specific parcels where Merlot thrives, this wine offers a softer, more fruit-centric interpretation of the Château’s famous gravel and clay terroir. It is specifically designed for accessibility, providing the structure and complexity of a top Bordeaux but with a velvety texture that makes it enjoyable much sooner than the Grand Vin.

Tasting Notes (Typical Vintage)

• **Colour:** Intense garnet red with youthful violet highlights.
• **Nose:** Elegant and expressive, featuring rich black fruit (cassis, dark cherry) complemented by classic Left Bank notes of cedarwood, pencil shavings, and subtle spice from delicate oak influence.
• **Palate:** Smooth and full, with well-integrated, fine tannins that provide a polished mouthfeel. The rich fruit core is balanced by fresh acidity, leading to a long, clean, and juicy finish. Excellent quality for the price point.

Food Matching & Service

An outstanding claret that delivers superb quality and value. It is ready to drink upon release but has the backbone to age gracefully.

• **Serving Temperature:** 16°C - 18°C (Slightly cooler than room temperature).
• **Recommendation:** Pair with a traditional Sunday Roast or a classic British game pie.
