Château Sociando-Mallet is located in Haut-Médoc appellation. Various documents dating to 17th century suggest that vineyard belonged to family named Sociondo and due to various misspellings over the years name became "Sociando".
After French Revolution, it was sold at auction by the revolutionary government, and acquired by Jean Lamothe.
In 1831, Marie-Elisabeth Alaret, Lamothe's niece and owner of Sociando, married Achille Mallet.The château was thereafter known as Sociando-Mallet.
The Alaret family owned Sociando-Mallet until 1878, when it came into the hands of Léon Simon.
In recent times, Jean Gautreau purchased the chateau after noticing excellent terroir and the domain which provides view overlooking the Gironde Estuary.
