Depth and precision define the 2016 Chateau Canon, with layers of black cherry, cassis, and dark plum lifted by floral perfume, subtle spice and a cool limestone edge. The palate is medium to full-bodied yet wonderfully poised, its ripe, ultra-fine tannins giving structure without weight and carrying a long, focused, mineral-driven finish. A profound, energetic Saint-Émilion that delivers both power and finesse in equal measure.

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.
