Château Canon 2016: Characteristics and tasting tips

The tasting

Nose
The nose reveals fruity (black cherries, ripe fruit), floral (violets) and empyreumatic (chocolate) fragrances as well as beautiful aromas of fresh figs and spices.

Palate
The silky and very fine tannins are creamy and persistent on the palate. The minerality of the Château Canon 2016 terroir reveals an utterly sophisticated, lively and well-blanced expression.
