Chateau La Croix Canon, Fronsac 2018

Croix Canon

Case Format: 6x75cl

The property has belonged to the DORNEAU family for several generations, going back to 1870. At the beginning, Madame Viaud, who believed in the development of the Fronsac Appellation, bought several small parcels to form the first of properties, the Château LA CROIX. In 1949, her niece, Jeanne, inherited the property and bought with her husband a second one, the Château ROULLET, classified in Canon Fronsac. In 1960, their son, Michel, bought the vineyards of Château PONTUS. Today, Patrick, the son of Michel, manages all the vineyards and participates in the collective management of the Fronsac and Canon Fronsac wine appellations and in the collective management of the truffle production from “gironde”.

CRITIC REVIEWS

91-93
Lisa Perrotti-Brown

This is not a second wine of Canon but a separate vineyard that borders Canon at one small section. The 2018 Croix Canon is made up of 65% Merlot and 35% Cabernet Franc, with a pH of 3.69 and 14% alcohol. Deep garnet-purple in color, it opens with Morello cherries, black raspberries and stewed tea notions, giving way to hints of menthol, tobacco, sandalwood and fragrant earth plus a waft of dried mint. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has surprising elegance with plenty of freshness lifting the softly textured red and black fruit preserves, finishing on an iron ore note.

Spiced aromas of clove, myrrh, dried mint, blackcurrant and blackberry. It’s medium-bodied with tight, fine-grained tannins. Structured, fresh and flavorful. Try from 2024.
