The 2008 Canon is a medium-bodied St-Émilion wine from the challenging 2008 vintage. It presents a deep plum hue, reflecting its significant concentration. This vintage reveals tightly-knit tannins and a notable minerality. Aromas of dark fruits such as blackberry and plum emerge gradually as the wine opens up. Its medium body is met with a structured mouthfeel, hinting at its potential for longevity. Château Canon is an historic estate in Saint-Émilion that has been producing wine since 1760.
