名列波爾多St. Emilion一等頂級酒莊(B組)的Chateau Canon的酒莊名稱源自18世紀的莊主Jacques Kanon，據說他原本是海盜出身，並且因此累積了財產來購置田產。
1997年Chanel集團買下本酒莊，花了很多年慢慢將葡萄園大幅改造，除了拔掉老病的樹重新種植之外，並且將種植比例調整為Merlot 60 % 和 Cabernet Franc 40 %。本酒莊就位在St. Emilion精華區的石灰岩臺地上，葡萄園在薄薄的石灰質黏土下是厚達幾十公尺深的石灰岩；這樣土質所生產出來的葡萄酒在年輕時比較封閉嚴肅，可是經過適當陳年之後，卻可以表現出別人難以表現的細緻和勻稱。這也是它可以長年來一直保持在被列為一等頂級酒莊的重要因素，並且被視為經典傳統St. Emilion紅酒的代表。
The 2020 Canon is a blend of 68% Merlot and 32% Cabernet Franc, aging for 18 months in French oak, 50% new. It weighs in with 14.5% alcohol and a pH of 3.53. Deep garnet-purple colored, it bursts from the glass with vivacious notes of Morello cherries, redcurrant jelly, wild blueberries and black raspberries, plus hints of powdered cinnamon, clove oil, star anise and dusty red soil. The medium to full-bodied palate is an exercise in grace, delivering exquisitely ripe, finely pixilated tannins and bold freshness to support the tight-knit black, red and blue fruit layers, finishing long with loads of exotic spices and mineral sparks. An exhilarating triumph!
