Château Gachon
Château Gachon produces wines from Montagne-Saint-Émilion, the northernmost appellation within Saint-Émilion in Bordeaux's Libournais region. The estate's portfolio centers on Bordeaux's classic right-bank blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon, with select cuvées incorporating Petit Verdot and Malbec. The Cuvée Jean-Jules Montagne-Saint-Émilion, a Cabernet Sauvignon–led blend, represents the winery's top expression and has earned recognition from Wine Enthusiast and Wine Spectator. The Cuvée les Petites Ranga follows, built on the same core varieties. A broader Montagne-Saint-Émilion bottling rounds out the range, showcasing the appellation's terroir through a five-grape composition. Montagne-Saint-Émilion's cooler microclimates and clay-limestone soils favor structured, age-worthy wines with mineral precision—a character evident across the winery's releases.
