CHÂTEAU CANON
Château Canon in Fronsac, currently managed by the ever talented Christian Moueix of Pétrus, remains one of the most venerable vineyards in the appellation. The property is situated in the center of the great clay-limestone slope of Canon. Production of this microscopic 3.5 acre plot produces approximately six tons of a concentrated and refined wine whose quality is derived from its old vines, its exceptional situation and the balance of its clonal variety. The wines of Château Canon are looked after like those in a very great growth, laid down in oak barrels and aged twenty months before bottling. 100 Merlot, harvested by hand.

Faultless. Last noted at the 1er grand cru St-Émilion dinner at the château, June 1997." **** MB, Vintage Wine
