Drink or Keep
Owners of Château Franc Maillet in Pomerol, Gaël and Gérard Arpin also oversee the destiny of Château Gachon, which produces this Cuvée Les Petits Rangas, named after a parcel facing South/South-East and sitting on a predominantly silico-clay terroir. A very pleasant, charming wine, with a beautiful, concentrated body that expresses itself with finesse. A beautifully crafted bottle!
