Chateau Canon Chaigneau - Lalande de Pomerol 2015.
Château Canon Chaigneau is one of the finest estates in Lalande de Pomerol, sitting atop the Néac plateau, the prolongation of the Pomerol plateau. This is a real insiders wine, vinified by Thierry Garnaud, the ex-winemaker at Château Cheval Blanc.
The ‘Grand Vin’ is the flagship of Château Canon Chaigneau, crafted for decades by legendary winemaker Thierry Garnaud, ex cellar master at Cheval Blanc, with a dedication to traditional methods. Matured in both new and seasoned French oak barrels, to respect the identity and character of each vintage through a moderate extraction process and careful aging.
Composed of approximately 95% Merlot, balanced with Cabernet Franc and Pressac, the wines express the complexities & finesse of the outstanding terroir and winemaking heritage. It embodies the refinement & elegance of Château Canon Chaigneau with layers of complexity, true to our long- standing 2000 year legacy.
The 2015 is gorgeous, drinking perfectly now, medium bodied, suave, complex & elegant.
