From the first sip, 2018 Château Canon feels like walking into a cool limestone cellar lined with baskets of black cherries and plums, touched by cocoa, spice and a whisper of tea leaf. The palate is plush and layered yet held taut by a vivid mineral line, its satin tannins giving this celebrated vintage both immediate charm and serious depth, finishing long, pure and quietly powerful.

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.
