Château Canon is one of the leading estates of Saint Emilion, located on the limestone plateau above the village and classified as a Premier Grand Cru Classé B. Owned by Chanel, the estate has seen significant investment in recent years, producing wines of increasing precision and consistency.
The vineyard is planted predominantly with Merlot supported by Cabernet Franc, grown on limestone and clay soils that bring both freshness and structure. The 2021 vintage is a more classical year, favouring balance and elegance over power, and at Canon this has resulted in a wine that shows purity and refinement.
