Château Canon Chaigneau Lalande-de-Pomerol 2018

Château Canon Chaigneau Lalande-de-Pomerol is elegant, rich and balanced with hints of violets, red and black fruits, truffles and spices. Thierry Garnaud's last vintage at Cheval Blanc, his 23rd at the helm of Canon Chaigneau. The first year to be adorned by their new label, designed by the sensational Italian pencil artist, Marco Mazzoni. "Château Canon Chaigneau has a long history, with wine first being cultivated on the rich land in Roman times, nearly 2,000 years ago. More recently, London born wine merchant Romik Arconian, & his partner, Marine Fontana - a trained viticulturalist - have taken over the vineyard. We are supported by our two young children, with a few close friends as investors. Understanding the importance of that long legacy, we are delighted to have been able to maintain close ties with the previous owners - the Marin family - who have owned & operated the estate since the 60's, and remain shareholders to this day. Indeed, Louis Marin, stayed on as ‘Chef de Culture’; a role he has undertaken for almost 40 years. We all firmly believe that Canon Chaigneau is one of the most wonderful, complex, fascinating and drinkable wines available on the planet today; with a true, independent heart of Bordeaux, an utterly magical terroir & of course, a legendary winemaker of undisputable talent..."
