Du Raisin, C’est Tout ! – Jérôme ZABEL

The “Méthode Nature” wine of Château Haut Sociondo. Sheltered in the village of Cars’ heights and facing the Gironde estuary, Château Haut Sociondo overlooks one of the most famous slope of Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux appellation. The history of the estate goes back to 1949, when the Martinaud family settled there. 13 years later, Louis and Michelle Martinaud, my grandparents, started purchasing parcels of vines. I joined the farm in 2001, full of passion for the terroir of Blaye and loyal to my family’s work. Since 2015, Jean-François Réaud is now the lucky owner of Haut Sociondo. Caring for the legacy of Martinaud family, Réaud family decided to welcome me as vine and wine manager of its three wineries.

Tasting comments:

Deep, almost black in colour. The subtle and pleasant nose of summer berries pierces through unmistakeable, softly wooded notes of vanilla and cocoa. The wood also subtly marks the attack, giving way rapidly to a full-bodied roundness underpinned by a high- quality tannic structure. A wine with great potential.
