Jean Gautreau is the exclusive, premium cuvée of Château Sociando-Mallet. The 1997 vintage is a fully mature, delicate artifact from a charming, early-drinking Bordeaux year. It offers a profoundly moving, purely tertiary tasting experience. The bouquet reveals dried red fruits, worn leather, caramel, cedar, and damp forest floor. Light to medium-bodied, it is exceptionally soft and seamless on the palate, with fully resolved tannins and mouthwatering acidity. A wonderfully charming and accessible old Bordeaux.
