Description

You will find Château Canon, property of Chanel since 1996, on the top of Saint-Emilion’s limestone plateau. Their vines benefit from exposure to the south, south east and are cultivated parcel by parcel according to sustainable methods. In the cellar, the winemaking process is traditional and takes place in truncated, cone-shaped tanks. The wine is aged in barrels with the proportion of new oak reaching about 50%. In the glass, the red fruit notes mix with that of cocoa, introducing a silky and persistent mouth feel.

Wine Advocate : “Wafting from the glass with aromas of mulberries and raspberries mingled with spices, rose petals, licorice and violets, the 2023 Canon is another brilliant wine from a property whose excellence can almost be taken for granted. Medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, it’s seamless and concentrated, its vibrant core of fruit framed by sweet, powdery tannins and girdled by lively acids, concluding with a long, mineral finish.”
