Description

As you look out from the village of Saint Emilion, you will see a landscape unlike any other - parcels of vines on dark green hillsides surrounding Château Canon. The Merlot and Cabernet Franc vines, whose grapes go into the château's wine blend, flourish here on this limestone plateau with slopes which glide gently down to the Dordogne River.

Tasting

This superb vintage demonstrates the great structure of the finest crus. An abundance of red and dark fruit lies behind an almost mineral attack.

The year's great freshness can be perceived behind its still tight structure. Magnificent aging potential.
