Product details
Château Canon 2016 invites you to experience the essence of St. Emilion's unique terroir, evoking the peaceful charm of a summer afternoon in the vineyards. This Grand Cru wine opens with an enticing bouquet of black cherries and ripe fruit, followed by the elegant fragrances of violets and chocolate. As it unfolds, subtle notes of fresh fig and a hint of peppery spice add complexity to the aromatic profile. The result is a wine of remarkable length, with a smooth, creamy texture provided by the fine, silky tannins. The limestone plateau on which the grapes are grown imparts a signature minerality, bringing freshness and liveliness to the wine, while maintaining a beautiful balance throughout.
Aged for 18 months in 65% new barrels, Château Canon 2016 blends 74% Merlot with 26% Cabernet Franc to create a wine that reflects both the power and finesse of this renowned Bordeaux region. The marriage of these two varietals results in a wine with depth, complexity, and elegance, making it a perfect companion for hearty dishes or a memorable celebration. Whether enjoyed now or cellared for future enjoyment, this wine promises to age gracefully and continue to develop its impressive character over time.
