Tasting profile (AI-generated)
Structure: medium-bodied, medium tannin, medium acidity, dry
Croix-Canon is the second wine of the renowned Château Canon estate in Saint-Émilion, offering a ripe red and black fruit character underscored by cedary oak and a gentle earthy minerality. Predominantly Merlot with Cabernet Franc adding structure and lift, it is approachable earlier than the grand vin while retaining the plush, rounded texture typical of the appellation. A well-made, food-friendly Bordeaux that punches above its second-wine status.
