Chateau Canon 2018

The elegance and power of a Premier Grand Cru Classe of Saint-Emilion

A true masterpiece from the prestigious Grand Cru Classe of Saint-Emilion, the 2018 vintage of Chateau Canon is indisputably one of its greatest successes.

After a rainy winter and spring, a beautiful summer followed, extending well into dry and sunny autumn, which produced a miracle. At Chateau Canon, the harvest began on September 7th with Merlot and ended on October 5th with Cabernet Franc.

Blending Merlot (72%) and Cabernet Franc (28%), the Chateau Canon 2018 expresses all of the grandeur of the Saint-Emilion terroir, where it was born, on the right bank of Bordeaux.

At the tasting, the Chateau Canon 2018 presents bright fruit aromas that spring from the glass. The aromatic bouquet is quite generous, with notes of black fruit, cherry and marzipan, followed by fresh minty notes and delicate floral notes, evoking rose. It is on the palate, however, that the wine expresses itself fully, with magnificent density, and structured tannins with a silky touch. The palate is powerful, evolves a biting acidity and maintaining deliciously mellow and tasty fruit. A magnificent vintage, marked by the grace and refinement of Chateau Canon.
