The Demoiselle de Sociando-Mallet takes its name from the "demoiselle", a species of dragonfly that lives in the Médoc. The youngest vines from the Sociando-Mallet estate are used to produce this wine. It is a wine made from a 20-hectare vineyard dominated with Merlot vines. Its 2015 vintage comes from a blend of 65% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc.
