Chateau Canon Chaigneau Famille Canon Chaigneau Cuvee 8A 2023 Rogue 750ml
Château Canon Chaigneau Cuve 8A 2023 is a fresh and expressive Lalande-de-Pomerol red wine made from predominantly Merlot, complemented by Cabernet Franc and Pressac. Sourced from specific parcels of slightly younger vines on the Néac plateau, the wine offers a pure expression of the estate's terroir.
Unlike the estate's grand vin, Cuve 8A is vinified and matured exclusively in concrete vats for 12 months, without oak. This approach preserves the wine's fresh fruit character, mineral expression and elegant structure while making it approachable at a younger age.
