Château Canon - Saint-Émilion Grand Cru - Red - 2023 :

 

Château Canon: A Premier Grand Cru Classé of Distinction

As a Premier Grand Cru Classé B, Château Canon stands as a beacon of quality in Saint-Émilion. Its vineyard sits atop the famed limestone plateau, a terroir that imparts the signature freshness and minerality central to the wine’s character. Since its acquisition by the House of Chanel, the estate has seen meticulous investment, cementing its reputation for producing clarets of exceptional purity and age-worthiness.

Tasting Notes (Classic Profile)

• Appearance: A deep, rich garnet that promises concentration and depth.
• Bouquet: A sophisticated nose of ripe dark fruits (damson plum, blackcurrant), enhanced by subtle layers of tobacco, graphite, and a pronounced, elegant minerality.
• Palate: Full-bodied yet exquisitely balanced, with a core of velvety Merlot complemented by the structure of Cabernet Franc. The tannins are beautifully integrated, leading to a persistent, refined, and chalk-driven finish.

Food Pairing & Service

Château Canon is a wine built for the cellar. When ready, serve at 16°C alongside classic British or French roast dinners. Decanting is recommended for younger bottles to soften the tannins and enhance the bouquet.
