The 2014 Château de Malleret Haut-Médoc is a refined Left Bank Bordeaux crafted from a classic blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Produced from the gravelly soils of the Haut-Médoc, it has matured beautifully, developing the elegance, structure and savoury complexity that define this renowned appellation. The nose is expressive, revealing aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry and dried plum, complemented by notes of cedar, tobacco leaf, graphite and subtle spice.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with fine, well-integrated tannins, fresh natural acidity and a smooth, layered texture, delivering flavours of cassis, black cherry and dark plum alongside hints of cigar box, dark chocolate, liquorice and earthy mineral complexity. The finish is long, balanced and beautifully refined, offering excellent harmony between fruit and bottle-aged character.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent mature Haut-Médoc for customers seeking classic Left Bank Bordeaux with elegance, complexity and exceptional value. Enjoy after a short decant or over the next 5–8 years. Ideal with roast lamb, grilled rib-eye, beef bourguignon, duck confit or mature hard cheeses.
