2017 Chateau Canon (6000 ml)

品飲筆記：卡農2017帶著深邃的黑色果實與花香，黑莓、黑醋栗夾帶一抹蜜柑皮與甘草煙燻氣息；入口飽滿但不厚重，果實緊湊有層次，酸度提亮整體，單寧細緻卻有抓地力，礦物與石灰質餘韻長且清晰。

酒莊與生產：來自列級名莊，酒莊以每個小地塊精耕細作著稱，田間管理嚴格，採收與篩選多以手工完成，力求從田間到酒窖都保留果實最真實的表現。

釀造與陳年：在重力流的釀造空間中溫和處理果實，發酵與浸皮講求纖細控制，之後以法國橡木桶陳年約18個月，賦予香氣細緻的烘烤與香草調性，同時保留鮮明的果味與線條。

葡萄園環境：位於聖艾美濃的石灰岩與黏土坡地，排水良好且含鈣質，這種風土帶來清脆的礦物感和結構感。整體而言，是一款兼具力量與優雅，適合醒酒並耐人尋味的經典紅酒。

Tasting note: A classically structured Saint-Emilion with dense dark-fruit aromas of blackberry and blackcurrant threaded with floral lift, candied orange zest, graphite and a hint of smoked licorice. The palate is concentrated and layered — ripe plums and juicy black fruits supported by taut, silky tannins and bright mineral-driven acidity. A saline, stony undercurrent gives energy while the long, persistent finish closes with spice and tobacco echoes.

Producer notes: From a Premier Grand Cru Classé B estate, meticulous plot-by-plot vineyard management and rigorous manual sorting underpin the quality here. The château is known for combining careful vineyard work with respectful, low-intervention cellar practices to produce wines with clarity and longevity.

Winemaking notes: Grapes are handled gently in a gravity-flow fermenting room to preserve fruit integrity. Fermentation and élevage are attentive and traditional — extended maturation for 18 months in French oak barrels refines structure and adds subtle oak spice without overwhelming the fruit. Cork closure completes the package.

Vineyard notes: The vines sit on the classic Saint-Emilion limestone-clay and gravel slopes, where calcareous soils and good drainage concentrate flavors and lend a distinctive mineral streak. Precise yields and parcel selection ensure depth and aging potential.
