2017 Château Canon Saint-Émilion Premier Grand Cru Classé

Deep garnet purple in colour, the Canon 2017 bursts from the glass with expressive notes of baked black cherries, kirsch, plum jam and black raspberries, plus hints of red roses, Ceylon tea, black olives and fertile loam. Medium-bodied, the palate is beautifully elegant and refined, with a soft, fine-grained texture and seamless freshness, ending long and minerally interwoven. The blend consists of 77% Merlot and 23% Cabernet Franc and is aged for 18 months in French oak, of which 50% is new.

This cru of 34 hectares belongs to the Wertheimer family, just like Ch Rauzan Ségla in Margaux. This family also owns the fashion house Chanel. Currently, director John Kolosa and the young cellar master Stéphane Bonnasse are improving the quality year after year. In 2011 the property was increased by 12.5ha thanks to the purchase of the neighbor Ch Matras, this vineyard was integrated into the second wine "Clos Canon". The terroir of Ch Canon is located at the very top of St Emilion on the limestone plateau and produces a concentrated but elegant, delicious wine that is at the level of the largest St Emilions in terms of quality!
