We no longer present Sociando-Mallet, which should be in a good place in the cellar of any wine lover, as the quality and above all the regularity of its last thirty vintages are so impressive. Without wishing to underestimate the hard work of the late Mr Gautreau since 1969, it must be said that the terroir, against the Gironde on a gravelly ridge comparable to that of Montrose, is indeed that of a Grand Cru Classé. Unavoidable 2016, the greatest wine of Sociando-Mallet since 1996.
The 2019 vintage in the press:
Vinous (N. Martin - February 2022): 94/100 “The palate is structured, with firm grip, very well-judged acidity, good substance and a cohesive, black-pepper- and pencil-lead-tinged finish that has real length. Top-drawer Sociando-Mallet.”
J-M Quarin (April 2022): 90/100 “Beautiful, very aromatic nose, fruity and subtle. Fine nuances of blackberry jelly.”

Rated 93/100 by N. MARTIN «The 2020 Sociando Mallet has retained its impressive aromatics from its showing in barrel with beautifully defined blackberry and raspberry fruit, pressed violet and light cedar aromas the palate is medium-bodied with firm backbone, a little powdery in texture, fine backbone with ample freshness and tension towards its graphite-infused finish. Bravo!» (December 2022)

The 2020 vintage in the press:
La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2025): 93/100 “With all the Margaux elegance we've come to expect from this vintage. Already seductive, with its velvety side, it will evolve over a decade with no problem.”
Vinous (N.Martin - December 2022): 93/100 “The 2020 Sociando Mallet has retained the impressive aromas it revealed during its time in barrel, with beautifully defined flavors of blackberry and raspberry, pressed violets and light cedar. The palate is medium-bodied with a firm spine, a slightly powdery texture, a fine spine with plenty of freshness and tension towards its graphite-infused finish. Well done to all!”

The 2018 vintage in the press:
La Revue du Vin de France (December 2022): 94/100 “As discerning wine lovers know, Sociando-Mallet, a brand widely distributed in France, is a wine with remarkable value for money...[...] the latest vintages seem a little less profound, but remain very pleasant, perfect for drinking within the decade, as in 2018 with its seductive velvety texture.”

The 2017 vintage in the press:
Vinous (N. Martin - February 2020): 90/100 “The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, a fine bead of acidity, classic or traditional Bordeaux from start to finish with fine delineation on the tobacco-tinged finish. Excellent.”
