Quite simply one of the best and most respected winemakers in all of Bordeaux, Jean Gautreau has been creating some of the world’s finest wines at Château Sociando-Mallet in Haut-Médoc for nearly a half- century. In 1995, Jean, together with his daughter, Sylvie, began selecting the best barrels from Sociando-Mallet each year, blending them and putting them into special bottles that carry his name. While Cuvée Jean Gautreau contains more Cabernet Sauvignon, it is a wine intended to be on par with the Sociando-Mallet wines, and at the same time, express a different style of the property and the terroir. Ready to drink now, or cellar for later.
