Château Canon 2018 in half bottle — black cherry, cassis and dark chocolate over silk. Saint-Émilion at its most refined.
Château Canon has been making wine on Saint-Émilion’s limestone plateau since the eighteenth century, and today it stands among the appellation’s most admired estates — a byword for polish and precision. The 2018 is the classic Canon blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, aged in oak barrels.
Expect ripe blackberry and cassis wrapped in silky tannin, with dark chocolate, spice and a cool, chalky earthiness underneath — the signature of the limestone the vines grow on. Full-bodied yet weightless in feel, with a long, elegant finish. The half bottle is a lovely way to bring a great name to an ordinary Tuesday.
Serve with: lamb chops, grilled steak, braised lamb, rich creamy cheeses or aged Gouda.

Both — the 2018 is open and silky with an hour’s decant, and has the balance to age gracefully for years.
Its vineyards on the limestone plateau give the wine a cool, chalky freshness that keeps all that ripe fruit feeling weightless.
