Jean Gautreau is the exclusive, premium cuvée of Château Sociando-Mallet. The 2004 vintage is a textbook classic Bordeaux, heavily favoring the structured elegance of Cabernet Sauvignon. It offers excellent tension, energy, and precision. It reveals a highly focused bouquet of pure blackberry, cassis, fine cedarwood, elegant spices, and intense graphite minerality. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is taut and well-structured, with a bright line of acidity cutting through the firm, fine-grained tannins. An intellectual and highly rewarding Bordeaux.
