About Chateau Canon Chaigneau 2018, Lalande de Pomerol
Château Canon Chaigneau is located in the heart of the much smaller part, the Néac plateau, a continuation of the Pomerol plateau. Legendary names such as Château Petrus, Chateau Lafleur, Chateau L’Evangile, & Chateau le Pin are just a few minutes drive to the south.
Chateau Canon Chaigneau has a 20.72 hectare vineyard covering just over 2% of the whole appellation. Lalande de Pomerol is is in total around 1,050 hectares (and, like Pomerol, is a very small appellation, producing annually on average just around 5 000 0000 bottles for the world over). Canon Chaigneau's terroir is renowned prime ‘merlot’ country, & composes 93% of our vineyard.
This wine is produced by Thierry Garnaud, winemkaer of Cheval Blanc! This is the first year to be adorned by their new label, designed by the sensational Italian pencil artist, Marco Mazzoni. A superb vintage, the summer was long and warm, producing outstanding quality; opulent, textured and concentrated Bordeaux.
The wine is a blend of 92% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc & 3% Malbec
James Suckling scored this 92 Points saying "A very balanced, creamy-textured red with blueberry, chocolate and walnut flavors... a solid core of fruit and a flavorful finish. Drink after 2022, but already very attractive."
Jeb Dunnuck scored this 91 points saying "...red fruits, white chocolate, flowers, and cured meat… silky, seamless... impressive tannins, and a great finish... smoky, complex, beautifully textured…"
