As owners of Château Franc Maillet in Pomerol, Gaël and Gérard Arpin also oversee Château Gachon, which produces this Cuvée Les Petits Rangas, named after a south/southeast-facing vineyard plot situated on predominantly siliceous-clay soil. A charming, very pleasant wine, with beautiful body and concentration, expressing itself with finesse. A beautifully crafted bottle!
