At Château Gachon, the Arpin family have invested heavily in the estate over the last decade. Consequently, quality has never been higher. Jean-Baptiste and his son Gael combine Merlot with both Cabernets (Sauvignon and Franc) to make this outstanding cuvée. It’s rich, with lavish aromas of black currant and plum, plus a silky-smooth texture and a toasty, chocolaty finish.

Great aromas and taste of dark fruits with good tannins and a long finish. Ideal with roast and grilled meats and mature cheeses.

This wine is a deep ruby colour with purple hues and has a soft nose of cherry, cassis, and spice. On the palate it is well balanced with a solid tannic structure and a complementary soft mid-palate of ripe fruits such as plums and red berries, well-integrated oak ageing (12 months) add structure and spice to the palate.
A vegan and vegetarian wine.

The Chem. de Chantecaille is one of the most famous streets in France. If you have ever visited, it’s one that people go very slowly on so they can turn their heads constantly to get a glimpse of both sides of the road. The Chantecaille which leads through Saint-Emilion and Pomerol is home to some of the biggest names in all of wine, let alone just Bordeaux.

Chateau Petrus, Le Gay, Trotanoy, Lefleur… these are just some of the wineries sprinkled on this famous road. Most of these Chateau charge an arm and a leg (well over $100/btl to start with Petrus in the lead at nearly $4,800/btl). But only a few hundred yards away from Petrus along the very same street, sits a chateau where arguably the best bargains in the entire Right Bank are grown.

Chateau Gachon sits on 15 hectares of clay soils, close to the hamlet of Pomerol. Classified within the district of Montagne Saint-Emilion, the wines coming off this estate are classic Right Bank blends with elegance, structure and impeccable balance.

Château Gachon is the property of the Arpin family, vignerons for eight generations. Their paternal grandfather of started with one hectare of Pomerol and have expanded over the years acquiring new land in Pomerol, Lalande de Pomerol and Saint-Émilion. Deciding to rely on the quality of production they have invested in state-of-the-art equipment – thermo regulated vinification cellars, pneumatic press, micro bubbling… and have also adopted ‘nurture nature’ practices in the vineyards.
