Second wines: La Demoiselle de Sociando-Mallet

DateWednesday, November 16, 2011 at 06:46AM


2006 La Demoiselle de Sociando-Mallet, Jean Gautreau

 

I bought a case of this also at the Caves de Taillevent (www.cavestaillevent.com). They always have a sort of “wine of the week” on sale for affordable, everyday drinking, and again….a Bordeaux second wine steals the show.

 

This is the second wine of Château Sociando-Mallet. I drank this vintage (2006) a couple of years ago and it was closed and tight. But it is drinking beautifully now. Fresh, clean acidity … buoyant fruit and integrated, mature tannins. Very nice.
