Canon 1979

Château Canon is a highly regarded wine estate located within the Saint-Émilion appellation. It is classified as a Premier Grand Cru Classé B under the Saint-Émilion classification system, indicating its historical status and consistent high quality. The estate is known for producing Merlot-dominant red wines, often blended with a smaller proportion of Cabernet Franc. The 1979 vintage in Bordeaux was considered average to good, with a growing season that featured a cool, wet spring followed by a hot, dry summer. The vintage didn`t achieve the same level of acclaim as some of the other vintages in the 1970s, but it produced some enjoyable wines that have shown good aging potential.
