Château Canon 2012 opens with vivid aromas of black cherry, blueberry and subtle floral notes from its high proportion of Cabernet Franc, leading into a medium‑to‑full palate that feels silky yet energetic. Dark berry fruit, cocoa and a gentle walnut-like savor are framed by finely woven, polished tannins and a long, fresh finish that shows this is a particularly vibrant, refined expression of the vintage.

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.
