Jean Gautreau

Jean Gautreau is a Médoc traditionalist in the best sense — his Château Sociando Mallet, perched with the finest view of the Gironde estuary of any left-bank château, produces wines of extraordinary quality and longevity through low yields, hand pruning and minimal intervention. A long-time Wines Direct favourite, these are some of the finest — and most underrated — wines in the Médoc.
