LaDemoiselledeSociandoMallet2015

Antonio Galloni, February 2018: The 2015 La Demoiselle de Sociando-Mallet is graced with sweet red berry and floral notes. Light on its feet and gracious, this perfumed, silky Haut-Medoc will drink well nicely for at least the next few years.

James Suckling, February 2018, Plenty of dark, toasty oak spices and meaty barrel-ferment characters. The palate has a slightly greenish thread with flavors of wild raspberries and mulberries. Drink or hold.

The Demoiselle de Sociando-Mallet is produced from the younger vines of the property and the plots whose soil is more favourable to the production of very good Merlot. This grape variety represents half of the final blend of this wine. The vines for our Demoiselle cover around twenty hectares and receive the same care and are tended in the same way as the rest of the vineyard throughout the year.

The “demoiselleâ€?is a sort of dragonfly found in the Medoc. Like the dragonfly, this wine of the same name is light and elegant.

The ageing of our Demoiselle de Sociando-Mallet is carried out mainly in vats, to preserve the freshness and fruitiness of the Merlot. This easy-drinking wine can be enjoyed young. It is an ideal match for grilled meat and fish or shellfish dishes.
