Chateau Sociando-Mallet Haut-Medoc Cru Bourgeois Red 1982

Château Sociando-Mallet 1982 is a great Bordeaux wine in the Haut-Médoc appellation, renowned for its power and very good ageing potential that exceeds 40 years in great vintages such as 1982.

In this exceptional vintage, it is the perfect reward for (very) patient connoisseurs: this great wine from 1982 offers a deep garnet colour and a voluptuous nose with dense aromas of black fruits, blackcurrant and blackberry, with notes of cedar, sweet, smoky and mineral spices. On the palate, the substance surprises with its intensity and concentration on a powerful tannic structure, and a long finish. 40 years later, this beautiful Haut-Médoc is ripening late and can even be kept in the cellar for a few more years.

1982 is undoubtedly one of the best vintages of the last fifty years for Bordeaux wines.

The exceptional 1982 vintage gave Château Sociando-Mallet its letters of nobility when it finished in second place in a tasting of the European Grand Jury in Los Angeles, behind Château Pichon Lalande Comtesse, 2nd Grand Cru Classé of Pauillac. Neither Grand Cru Classé nor Cru Bourgeois, Château Sociando-Mallet cultivates its difference and rises to the level of the greatest red wines of the Médoc.
