The 2018 Château Canon is a blend of 72% Merlot and 28% Cabernet Franc from vines with an average age of 30 years. The wine spent 18 months in oak, 52% being new barrels. The resulting wine is very aromatic, including scents of dark fruits, cherries and marzipan. It’s a medium to full-bodied wine, yet elegant, with silky, refined tannins and a tangy sweetness of a Bakewell tart. Recommended drinking window 2025 - 2052.

The 2018 Canon is celebrated for its extraordinary balance, deep ruby color, and complex flavors. Aged in oak barrels, it merges notes of ripe blackberries, cherries, and plums with delicate hints of violets, tobacco, and graphite. The finish is long and seductively smooth, promising great potential for ageing. Ripe blackberries, cherries, plums, violets, tobacco, graphite. Long, smooth finish.
