Situated in a 21 hectares around Néac in the heart of the Lalande de Pomerol appellation lies this little gem Chateau Canon-Chaigneau. The production and elevage for the last ten years has been carefully managed by the former maitre de chai of Chateau Cheval Blanc, Thierry Garnaud.

Since 2019 the new proprietors, Romik Arconian and his partner Marine (pictured), have invested in perfecting their wine quality, such as using stricter fruit selections and less new oak.

Here the vines are close planted on Argilo-Calcaire terroir which contribute to the mineral complexity and flavour profile of the wines. Merlot dominates the assemblage by at least 75% with varying percentages of Cabernets and a little malbec. The alcohols by volume reach 13 and 13.5%.

These are fabulous value, pure terroir driven wines, ideal with roasts and steaks. Please click on the wines to read the positive reviews and scores by the leading critics.
