Description

The Sociando-Mallet 2007 is a wine from the Haut-Médoc appellation in Bordeaux, France. The 2007 vintage presented challenges across Bordeaux, with a cool, damp growing season that required careful vineyard management. Despite these difficulties, Sociando-Mallet delivered a wine with elegance and balance, showcasing the estate’s reputation for producing consistent and high-quality wines, even in less heralded vintages.

Wine Overview
Sociando-Mallet produces wines that consistently reflect their terroir, often outperforming expectations for their Cru Bourgeois status. The 2007 vintage is crafted from a blend of:

Cabernet Sauvignon: The dominant grape, offering structure and dark fruit flavors.
Merlot: Adds softness, roundness, and red fruit nuances.
Cabernet Franc: Contributes aromatic complexity and spice.
Vintage Characteristics
The 2007 growing season was marked by a rainy summer and cool temperatures. However, a warm and sunny September helped improve ripening conditions, allowing estates with meticulous vineyard management to produce wines with good balance and freshness. The vintage generally resulted in early-drinking wines with softer tannins and moderate structure.

Tasting Notes
Appearance: Medium ruby, with slight garnet highlights reflecting its maturity.
Aroma: Aromas of redcurrants, plums, and cherries, complemented by cedar, tobacco, and subtle earthy notes. Hints of dried herbs and graphite add complexity.
Palate: Medium-bodied with soft, approachable tannins and lively acidity. The flavor profile is centered on red and dark fruits, such as raspberries and blackberries, alongside notes of pencil shavings, spices, and a touch of minerality.
Finish: Medium-length, with a clean and elegant conclusion of fruit and savory nuances.
Drinking Window
As of 2025, the Sociando-Mallet 2007 is at or slightly past its peak, offering an enjoyable drinking experience with developed tertiary flavors like dried fruit, leather, and earthiness. It is best consumed soon, as the wine is unlikely to improve further with additional aging.

Food Pairing
This vintage pairs well with:

Lighter roasted or grilled meats, such as pork or chicken.
Beef stew or cassoulet.
Mushroom-based dishes like risotto or stroganoff.
Medium-aged cheeses, such as Gouda or Tomme de Savoie.
Serving Recommendations
Decanting: Decant for 30 minutes to allow the wine to breathe and reveal its nuanced aromas.
Serving Temperature: Serve at 16–18°C (60–64°F) to enjoy its full range of flavors and balance.
Conclusion
The Sociando-Mallet 2007 is a refined and approachable wine that showcases the estate’s ability to craft quality Bordeaux in a more challenging vintage. It offers elegance and balance, making it a good choice for immediate enjoyment with food or on its own.
