The 2020 Château Canon reveals a deep ruby hue as well as classic upper plateau notes of perfumed red and black fruits (black raspberries, darker cherries), wildflowers, graphite, and chalky minerality. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it has a seamless, elegant mouthfeel, perfectly integrated tannins and acidity, and flawless overall balance. It needs 7-8 years of bottle age to hit maturity and will have 2-3 decades of overall longevity.

Blend: 68% Merlot, 32% Cabernet Franc
