CHATEAU CANON CHAIGNEAU - APPELLATION LALANDE DE POMEROL

Select a vintage: 1999

Appraisal:
Ruby red with a brilliant shade
Fairly rich intro of small red fruit (cherry, raspberry), with flowery and smoky hints supported by a good woody nose.
Smooth attack, which develops on a fine and elegant body. The tannins are ripe and well established, while the finale is pleasant and slightly woody.

What the press said about it:
DUSSERT-GERBER 2006
A real charmer, the 1999 has a complex bouquet intermingling hints of fruit and heather, harmonious, rich and perfumed, a fine colour, a wine full in the mouth which is particularly popular at the moment.

Appraisal:
Lovely dusky red colour
Fine bouquet. hints of venison. When shaken, the ripe red fruits reemerge, a little spicy and with a hint of cinnamon.
The taste in the mouth is a reflection of the nose.
Good holding in mouth, with a slightly woody finale.

What the press said about it:
HACHETTE GUIDE 2004
Powerful bouquet of black cherry, prune, but also a strong flavour of roasting. Well structured, flavoursome but dominated by woodiness in the mouth. Will require 2 to 3 years to blend.
DUSSERT-GERBER 2005 and 2006
The 2000 is remarkable, with a fine intense ruby colour, very well balanced, rich and subtle nose and mouth, with shades of macerated fruit and undergrowth, holds up well.
