Saint-Emilion neighbour Montagne is a village "producing stunning wines at laughably low prices" (WINE Magazine) ... and with Golds and top Parker ratings, Chateau Gachon is one of the region's most sought-after estates. The small Chateau shows all the class and depth of a very fine St.Emilion. 2001 was particularly successful on Bordeaux's right bank, and many believe it achieved even better quality than the spectacular 2000 vintage. The wine is made in a traditional style over 20-25 days to give maximum concentration and flavour. Merlot-led claret with an intense ruby colour, Aromas of warm fruit, liquorice and toasty oak. Smooth, silky plum and juicy cassis flavours unlined by harmonious, velvety tannins. Enjoy with Sunday roasts lamb escalopes and rich casseroles
