Tasting

Colour
This wine reveals a beautiful ruby-hued robe, delicately enhanced by garnet highlights.

Nose
The aromatic bouquet proves complex and superb, immediately offering hints of iodine, graphite and pencil lead. With aeration, rich aromas of intense red fruits intertwine with touches of liquorice, cola and subtle peppery notes.

Palate
The attack is clean and gives way to a juicy, fluid and remarkably crisp texture. Perfectly balanced, this wine stands out for its mineral freshness and elegance, supported by refined, fine and silky tannins that lend it an assertive structure and an elegant finish.

Food and wine pairing
This cuvée will pair wonderfully with traditional dishes in sauce, such as a flavoursome beef daube, whose richness will perfectly match the structure and generosity of the wine.

Serving and ageing
Endowed with excellent ageing potential, this Château Canon Pécresse 2025 will flourish in the cellar and can be enjoyed until at least 2037.

The mineral elegance of a Canon-Fronsac wine

The estate
Acquired in 1947 by Jean-Marie Pécresse, Château Canon Pécresse is a 2.3-hectare estate located around forty kilometres from Bordeaux. Historically run by Jean-Francis Pécresse, the property was recently acquired by the Labrune family, who also own Château de La Dauphine. Distinguished by its environmental commitment, the estate stands as an essential reference, producing wines that express the full richness of their terroir.

The vineyard
The vineyard extends over one of the finest terroirs of the Canon-Fronsac appellation. Ideally located on the highest limestone plateau of the area, overlooking the meanders of the Dordogne, the vines benefit from an exceptional clay-limestone soil resting on starfish limestone. This highly aerated terroir is planted at a density of 5,800 vines per hectare, with vines averaging 30 years of age. Eager to preserve the natural balance of the plant and the soils, the estate has been certified organic since 2020 and farms all of its parcels biodynamically.

Vinification and ageing
The harvest for this Château Canon Pécresse 2025 was carried out by hand between 15 and 18 September. The berries undergo meticulous sorting through a density bath in order to retain only the finest grapes. The wine then benefits from careful ageing for 12 months, split between barrels and large casks. Alcohol content: 14% vol.

Grape varieties
This wine is made from a blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc.
