Savory notes of roasted coffee, dark berries and gentle spice define 1990 Château Canon, a still-structured Saint-Émilion whose Cabernet Franc edge gives lift and bite to the ripe black fruit. The palate is full and firm yet polished, with tannins that have softened into a velvety frame around flavors of black cherry, cocoa and warm earth, leading to a long, subtly gamey finish. This is a confident, old-school Canon that rewards patience and air.

Château Canon is the grand vin of this historic Premier Grand Cru Classé estate on Saint-Émilion’s limestone plateau, a Merlot‑dominant blend (with significant Cabernet Franc) that marries voluptuous, ripe fruit with marked chalky, mineral tension. Rooted in clay‑limestone soils above underground quarries and farmed by the Chanel-owned property, it is renowned for its refined, ageworthy style that showcases both the rigor and elegance of top right‑bank Bordeaux.
