2012 - Grand Vin Château Canon Chaigneau
2012 - Grand Vin Château Canon Chaigneau
4,2 / 5 on VIVINO !
Sometimes maligned, but a success on the right bank, a very good vintage for Merlot. Supple, round and complex wines, drinking perfectly now and over the coming few years prove that you don’t need soaring temperatures to make good wine. Easy drinking but thought provoking. Thierry Garnaud’s 18th vintage as winemaker at Canon Chaigneau, his 31st at Cheval Blanc.
Medals
Gold Medal Concours de Bordeaux.
Coup de Cœur at the Festival des Vins d'Aquitaine in Wuhan (China).
"A hidden gem in our lineup and in Lalande-de-Pomerol. Always an insider secret, it’s now evolved into a soft, enveloping wine with lacy tannins and fine, lingering fragrance."
A Unique Terroir
The Néac plateau. One of the finest wines of the appellation, and one of the best value wines in France - medium bodied, not over extracted, complex, suave & extremely drinkable, typically with notes of truffle, black fruits, spice and cacao.
