Вино Chateau Canon Saint-Emilion Grand Cru AOC 2012 0.75л, №35429

Сбор винограда проводится вручную для того, чтобы гарантировать высокое качество сырья. После сбора виноград сортируется и проходит деликатное дробление. Затем начинается алкогольная ферментация в специальных емкостях из нержавеющей стали при строго контролируемой температуре 28-32°С. Малолактическая ферментация происходит как в стальных емкостях, так и в дубовых бочках. После этой стадии вино выдерживается в бочках из французского дуба в течение 18 месяцев, чтобы обрести свои уникальные качества и богатый вкус.

Chateau Canon, located atop the limestone plateau of Saint-Emilion, has a unique history that dates back to the 1700s when it was part of the vineyard of Clo Saint-Martin. In 1760, a colorful character by the name of Jacques Canon acquired the estate, which at the time consisted of only 13 hectares. Canon, a successful privateer, or "pirate," as they were known at the time, expanded the vineyards to their modern size and built a castle, completed in 1767. After ten years of ownership, Canon sold the property to wine merchant Raymond Fontemua. There are two theories as to how Chateau Canon got its name. One is that it is a phonetic reflection of its original owner's surname - Kanon. However, the Fontemua family, who bought Chateau Canon in Saint-Emilion, already owned a property in Fronsac by the same name. It is believed that they combined both wineries under one name. In any case, by 1770, the wines of the chateau had gained recognition in Saint-Emilion. The name Chateau Canon was officially established in 1853 by Raymond Fontemua's great-granddaughter. The Fontemua family kept the vineyards until 1857 when the estate was sold several times until 1919 when Gabriel Soupault bought Chateau Canon as a gift for his daughter and her husband, Andre Fournier. The Fournier family invested significant funds and time into modernizing production, as well as renovating the castle and vineyards. Chateau Canon remained in their ownership until 1996 when it was sold to brothers Alain and Gérard Wertheimer, owners of the house of Chanel. Over the years, they have carried out extensive work on replanting the vineyards, replacing and upgrading equipment, and renovating the chateau. Underneath the vineyards lies a unique network of tunnels that were once used to extract limestone for building Saint-Emilion and Libourne. Today, it is a popular tourist attraction. Chateau Canon's 34 hectares of vineyards include 24 that are classified as Premier Cru, producing grapes for the creation of the estate's first wines
