Tasting note

1982 年的卡農來自聖艾美濃頂級產區，已進入成熟期，散發出溫潤而有層次的香氣：松露與橄欖醬（tapenade）的鹹香、皮革與陳年乾果交織，隱約還有李子、榲桲與些許花香與礦物氣息。入口柔滑圓潤，單寧細緻而不厚重，酸度偏低但整體結構穩定，餘韻悠長且帶有成熟的複合風味。 酒莊與釀造：卡農以田區管理見長，採取逐地塊精細耕作與人工篩選，葡萄在重力式發酵室被溫柔處理以保留果實完整性。橡木桶陳年約18個月，使用法國新舊橡木，讓酒體保持優雅而不被烘焙味蓋過。 葡萄園環境：莊園位於聖艾美濃優質產地，土壤與朝向賦予酒款耐陳的骨架與鹹香風格。生產團隊強調風土呈現與人工照料，這也是酒款能在時間中展現出松露、皮革與紅果等複雜第三香的重要原因。 建議醒酒與搭配：建議開瓶後醒約30–60分鐘（推薦45分鐘），讓香氣開放。非常適合搭配烤牛排、蒜香羊腿、野味或成熟硬質乳酪，能把酒的陳年香氣與口感層次完美襯托。

Chateau Canon’s 1982 is a mature Saint-Emilion Grand Cru that shows the classic evolution of a top Bordeaux vintage. The colour is brick-core with an amber rim; the nose unfolds in layers — tertiary notes of truffle, tapenade and leather interweave with red-berried and dried-fruit aromas, hints of plum, quince and subtle floral and stony accents. On the palate it is silky and supple rather than aggressive: well-structured with good body and an impressive architectural balance, ultra-fine tannins and a long, contemplative finish. Producer & winemaking notes: Canon applies meticulous plot-by-plot management and manual sorting in both vineyard and cellar. Grapes are handled gently in a gravity-flow fermentation room and parcel selection is strict. The wine matured for 18 months in French oak barrels, contributing subtle spice and integrated oak texture while preserving the wine’s tertiary complexity. Vineyard notes: From a Premier Grand Cru Classé B estate in Saint-Emilion, the vineyards are carefully tended with an emphasis on terroir expression; soils and exposure produce wines that age gracefully and develop layered, savory character. Service & pairing: For a bottle of this age, decant about 30–60 minutes (we recommend ~45 minutes) to let tertiary aromas lift. Match it with richly flavoured red meats, game, roast lamb or aged cheeses to complement its truffle, leather and dried-fruit profile.
