Tasting notes and food pairings for Château Malleret 2016, a classic Haut-Médoc claret. Madeleine on Beaufort, Perth.
Château Malleret is a Haut-Médoc estate on Bordeaux's Left Bank. The 2016 blends Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot in the classic claret style, from one of the decade's best vintages.
Deep ruby with some development. Blackcurrant, graphite and cedar, with savoury, earthy notes. The palate is structured, with firm tannins now softening nicely.
A natural match for steak, roast beef, lamb or a mature hard cheese. Our team will be happy to suggest a match from the current menu or the seasonal degustation.
The Haut-Médoc stretches north of Bordeaux along the Gironde estuary, surrounding the famous villages of Margaux, Saint-Julien and Pauillac. Its gravel soils give structured, Cabernet-led reds that age gracefully.
By the glass: $31 · By the bottle: $140
