This chiseled and mature Canon Fronsac will defy your expectations for a few reasons.Its brambly berry notes have evolved and taken on a woodsier sophistication of shady underbrush, violet, and nutmeg. Furthermore, the soil here is atypical for the region. Grapes grow on calcareous hills, not in clay and gravel, which is most common in the Left Bank; that means this bottling leans to the mineral side, with graphite-like tannins. Lastly, in the case of a “natural” Bordeaux like this, the hand of the grower is as important to our understanding of its sense of place as the soil, grape variety, or any other component we use to contextualize a wine. I recommend decanting this bottle to allow its supple, generous personality to shine.
