Originally founded in the 18th century, Château Canon is a Premier Grand Cru Classé ‘B’ estate situated within the Saint-Émilion appellation. In 1996 the property was acquired by the famous fashion house Chanel, who completely revitalized the brand. This is their grand vin from the 1998 vintage, a blend composed of 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc. The wine shows a lovely vibrant nose, with plenty of minerality and oyster shells. The palate is very well balanced with a velvety texture, polished tannins and focus on the finish.
