Canon 2020 glows with refined power: pure red and black cherry and vibrant raspberry layered with violet, fresh herbs and a chalk-dust bite that runs straight through the wine. The palate is concentrated yet poised, with creamy, elongated tannins and a cool, saline edge that stretches the finish for minutes, giving a vivid sense of its limestone origins. This is a particularly profound, tightly coiled Canon that promises even greater nuance with time in bottle.

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.
