Juicy and incredibly rich, this blend of 77% Merlot and 23% Cabernet Franc is bursting with lively, ripe red berry flavours.  With its exceptional power and structure, this is a wine that should age impressively.

Nicolas Audebert and his team have done it again. The 2017 Canon is shaping up to be one of the wines of the vintage. Rich and vertical in construction, the 2017 possesses off-the-charts richness and intensity in all dimensions. The 2017 is sumptuous and layered in the glass, with superb detail and tons of sheer pedigree. Dark plum fruit, striking Franc aromatics and the clean, focused energy of Saint-Émilion's limestone plateau makes for a ravishing, exquisite wine of the highest level. In a word: breathtaking.

Canon 2017 takes us on a sensory journey of crisp fruit and aromas of garrigue scrubland. It starts with an explosion of fruit, blackcurrants, blueberries and cherries, that then gives way to a spring-like freshness. The nose reveals notes of broom and rosemary, like a walk through a field of flowers and a forest of eucalyptus. On the palate, we find a whole raft of delicate, smooth flavours. The rich, detailed texture stretches out like Ariadne’s thread, leading to a mineral, chalky finish, typical of the wines from the limestone plateau.
