Le Baron de Malleret is the second wine of Château de Malleret, one of the oldest estates in the Haut-Médoc, with origins dating back to the 1600s. Known for its classical Left Bank style and meticulous vineyard management, the estate consistently produces wines of finesse, purity, and understated elegance. The second wine offers an accessible yet authentic window into the château’s craftsmanship.
VineyardLocated near Pian-Médoc, the château’s vineyards sit on deep gravel and sandy soils typical of the Médoc, ideally suited to Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Sustainable viticulture and strict parcel selection ensure that Le Baron de Malleret captures the estate’s signature balance — ripe fruit, freshness, and refined tannins.
VintageThe 2021 Bordeaux vintage was cool and classical in style, favouring producers who emphasised precision and elegance. The wines are lower in alcohol, vibrant in acidity, and true to their terroir. For Malleret, 2021 delivered graceful, aromatically pure reds with fine structure and excellent drinking balance.
Tasting NotesThe 2021 Le Baron de Malleret opens with aromas of blackcurrant, violet, graphite, and subtle cedar. The palate is medium-bodied and refined, offering fresh dark fruit, gentle spice, and a clean mineral line. Polished tannins support a long, harmonious finish, making this an approachable yet sophisticated Médoc wine for early to mid-term enjoyment.
