FRESHNESS ELEVATING VOLUPTUOUSNESS
Canon’s wines reflect the huge rigour of the Saint-Emilion plateau. Freshness hones the huge voluptuousness. A pure, clean nectar that draws all of the minerality’s tension. A fine wine. The protruding power of the vine rooted in the rock.

Personnality
Château Canon offers a masterful, full, direct personality. The opulence of the fruit creates tension with the mineral freshness. A game of light and shadows between the quarries and the plateau. Reflecting the vineyard’s density of sunlight.
Indomitable fullness. A favourite. Ageing potential.
THE TENSION & MINERALITY OF THE PLATEAU
This refined, slender and vertical vintage owes its balance to the sophisticated structure from the limestone soils.

Personnality
The 11 hectares of vines dedicated to Croix Canon have their own history. On the western slope of the plateau to the bottom of the hillside, the vines are worked with the same standards and the same teams as at Château Canon. There proudly stands out a fleshy, dense wine, with notes of fresh, red and black fruits, and spices.
Freshness. Tension in the final. Aromatic balance. Keeping potential.
IN MAZERAT CHAPEL
Croix Canon has a dedicated winery and vat house in this 12th century building. A vestige of Saint-Émilion’s religious heritage from the Middle Ages, this building – constructed next to the Camino de Santiago – was renovated in 2011. The wines slumber here in the chapel. A timeless atmosphere.
