Too dry bitter taste very disappointing
Château Gachon is located on 15 hectares of clay soils, a mere 400m from the world famous Chateau Petrus, close to the hamlet of Pomerol.
Classified within the district of the Montagne Saint-Émilion, it is the property of the Arpin family, vigerons for eight generations, who have invested wisely in new cellar equipment to support a contemporary 'modernist' style of winemaking.
This claret is a blend of Merlot (70%), Cabernet Franc (20%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (10%); this classic French red 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. Overall it is well-integrated, the time it has spent in oak barrel has added structure and spice to the palate.
One of the world's most widely recognized red wine grape varieties. It is grown in nearly every major wine producing country among a diverse spectrum of climates from Australia and British Columbia, Canada to Lebanon's Beqaa Valley.
The classic profile is full-bodied with high tannins and noticeable acidity that contributes to aging potential.
Bordeaux is a famous wine region in southwestern France which produces some of the world's finest wines. The region is home to over 10,000 wine estates and more than 60 appellations, each with its own unique terroir and wine styles.
Bordeaux wines are typically known for their complexity, depth, and ability to age.
"If anyone orders merlot, I’m leaving. I am not drinking any f*&!ing merlot".
Miles view (from the film Sideways) is not shared by everyone, Merlot is loved by many for it's boisterous black cherry flavours, supple tannins, and chocolatey finish. It is a component of some of the worlds finest wines.
