Château de Malleret
Cru Bourgeois Haut-Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend
Haut-Médoc, Médoc, Bordeaux, France
2022 vintage. Cabernet Sauvignon (65%) dominates, blended with 31% of Merlot and 4% of Petit Verdot. Malleret has a very long history, and it has been in the hands of the same family for 150 years. In this exceptional vintage, Malleret is a sheer beauty. Deep, dense dark red with purplish rim. Blackberries, cassis, flowers and very subtle oak. Seriously concentrated, with layers of black fruit and delicate spices, embedded in a firm structure of velvety tannins, balanced by fresh acidity. Long, fresh finish. A lovely wine that sells for a song. Abv. 13,5%. Stéphane Derononcourt consults.

A big, dense, low acid style. The savory kick and fine tannins give it enough character to keep it from feeling dull. Held up nicely over three days. Will work well for short term drinking - with cheese or as a nightcap glass.

The 2010 Chateau de Malleret is a rich wine with blackcurrent, leather and tar. I think it has benefited from a few years in bottle. Wines like this show the strength in depth of Bordeaux.

Impressively concentrated - some rough tannins, dark plum, herb, spices - cocoa, I'd like to try it with another 5 years of aging.

Pretty happy with this Bordeaux blend but unhappy that I won't be able to buy at Costco again. Purchased almost 4 yrs ago. Enjoyed with cheesy tomatillo enchiladas with chizo, squash and spinach rice (courtesy of Blue Apron). This was nice and smooth, good bold dark fruit up front, some pepper and tobacco. Great price at $14.
