CHATEAU CANON CHAIGNEAU - APPELLATION LALANDE DE POMEROL

Select a vintage: 1997

Appraisal:
Lovely sustained ruby colour yet still quite bright
A fine and charming bouquet combining aromatic hints of ripe fruit (merlot) and the sweetness of licorice.
Ample attack developing well on the palette, without harshness. Ripe and silky tannins. Same aromas rediscovered in the mouth. Clean aftertaste, very slightly woody.

Fine ruby colour, good wine, excellent example of 1997.

CHATEAU CANON CHAIGNEAU - APPELLATION LALANDE DE POMEROL

Select a vintage 1998

Appraisal:
Dense dusky red shading
Aromas of ripe grapes combined with a fine woody scent, both of citrus fruit and vanilla essence.
Multiple aromas of ripe fruit. Good tannic structure but retaining fullness. Excellent conservation. Harmonious finale with a good tone, very slightly woody. Good wine that maintains the identify of its heartland.

What the press say about it:
HACHETTE GUIDE 2002
Hints of roasted beans (coffee, cocoa,) and seafood
accompany the tasting of this fairly full-bodied wine.
DUSSERT GERBER 2006
Lovely 1998, pleasant-tasting with this persistent hint of smokiness.
