Chateau Canon 2000 elk-cove-vineyards and his grandfatherThe velvety, silky style of Chateau Canon is the magical result of the way its grape varieties benefit from its soil. The limestone containing fossilized starfish makes the wines that grow in it fresh, subtle and elegant. They have a remarkable capacity for aging. Chateau Canon is therefore a wine that requires patience, which over time, slowly reveals its noble qualities. Blend: 70% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc
