Mid shoulder, good colors. Château Canon is one of the oldest wines of St. Emilion. It owes its name to the owner of the eighteenth century, Jacques Canon. Located on the southwest side of the appellation, the vineyard lies on a varied soil made of clay-limestone and sandy limestone in the basement. In 1996 the estate was acquired from the Fournier family, owners since 1919, by the group Chanel. The new owners has made many renovations and now produce rich and structured wines, with a consistent quality.
