Producers

Château Canon is certainly one of the oldest and most iconic wineries in the Bordeaux region of France. Located in the Saint-Émilion appellation, this winery is known for its long history, excellent wine production and commitment to quality over the centuries.

The history of Château Canon dates back to the Middle Ages, when the winery was established on a hill overlooking the Saint-Émilion countryside. The name “Canon” is believed to come from the Latin word “canonici”, which refers to the monasticism of the area. This suggests that the vineyard has roots in the church and may even have been part of monastic properties in its early history.

Over the centuries, Château Canon has gone through various ownerships and changes, but it has always maintained its reputation as a producer of premium wines. One of the most remarkable moments in Château Canon’s history came in the 19th century, when the property was purchased by the Fournier family, who invested significantly in the winery and modernized its production methods.

Today, Château Canon has become one of the leading producers of Grand Cru Classé wines in Saint-Émilion. The vineyard’s soils, consisting primarily of limestone and clay, are ideal for growing Merlot and Cabernet Franc, the two main grape varieties used to produce the wines at Château Canon.

Château Canon is known for its unique approach to winemaking, combining traditional methods with modern techniques. The vineyards at the winery are cultivated with great care and the harvest is done manually to ensure the highest quality of grapes. In the cellar, the wines undergo a careful process of fermentation and aging in oak barrels, resulting in complex and well-balanced wines with great depth and character.

With its commitment to quality and constant striving for improvement, Château Canon continues to develop its exceptional wines and remains an essential destination for us wine nerds who want to experience the best of Bordeaux wine.
