It owns pockets of vineyards close to Saint-Émilion town, with a large core parcel right on the very edge. This parcel is almost completely walled in and is traditionally hand-harvested and ploughed by horses. It is planted entirely with Merlot. This is regularly used in the Château Canon grand vin, along with a smaller proportion of Cabernet Franc from the estate's various other vineyards. More than 60 percent of Canon's vineyards are planted to Merlot. The remaining is planted to Cabernet Franc. The grapes are blended carefully to get the most from each: Merlot brings smoothness, finesse and intense fruit aromas; while Cabernet Franc brings structure and extra ability to age. The Château also makes the Croix Canon wine from an 11-hectare (27-acre) vineyard that borders the Canon estate. Buyers should be aware of the high number of wines from the Right Bank whose names include the word \"Canon\". This includes two distinct wines named Château Canon from Canon-Fronsac, one of which has a very similar label to this more famous wine.\u003cbr\u003e","published_at":"2023-02-06T12:24:09-05:00","created_at":"2023-01-31T11:34:48-05:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_France","NK3001","other_french wine","Other_Wine","Producer_Château Canon","Region_Bordeaux","Source_Hedonism0123","Type_Red Wine","Varietal_Bordeaux Blend Red"],"price":94999,"price_min":94999,"price_max":94999,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":42751317573770,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"1998 | Château Canon","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":94999,"weight":12247,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/12_a774b9af-6135-4f6c-a37a-d8d08219574b.jpg?v=1675182927"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/12_a774b9af-6135-4f6c-a37a-d8d08219574b.jpg?v=1675182927","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"1998 | Château Canon at CaskCartel.com","id":24120617762954,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.6,"height":1000,"width":600,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/12_a774b9af-6135-4f6c-a37a-d8d08219574b.jpg?v=1675182927"},"aspect_ratio":0.6,"height":1000,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/12_a774b9af-6135-4f6c-a37a-d8d08219574b.jpg?v=1675182927","width":600}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eRed Wine: 1998 | Château Canon\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wine shows a lovely vibrant nose, with plenty of minerality and oyster shells.
