Sitting in the heart of the limestone plateau, Château Canon is prized for its classic, critically acclaimed St-Emilion. The estate’s story began 250 years ago when it was purchased by wealthy privateer (pirate), Jacque Kanon, who made his fortune commanding fleets between France and Quebec. It was known as Clos St Martin and not named Château Canon until 1853 on its acquisition by the Fontémoing family. Canon’s renaissance began when the Wertheimer Brothers, who also own the global fashion brand Chanel and Rauzan-Ségla, bought the estate in 1996. They invested heavily in the vineyards and winery, poached John Kolasa from Chateau Latour and made him technical director, setting the estate on the path to success. Kolasa has since been succeeded by the talented Nicolas Audebert (Krug, Veuve Clicquot, Cheval des Andes) and quality and demand continues to soar. The sole mission is based on how to produce the very best quality wines, no shortcuts are taken, and every decision is made with the long term in mind. There is no other property where one can measure this philosophy in action and see such clear results. Culminating in a product of the utmost purity, finesse and opulence, the superb wines made under the management of Nicolas Audebert define class itself. At only $129.99 this is a Saint-Emilion steal.
