Château Canon is a Premier Grand Cru Classe “B” classified estate situated on the Saint-Émilion limestone plateau. It is regarded as one of the most elegant wines in the appellation and does particularly well in warmer vintages. It also has a positive reputation as being one of the most well priced estates in Saint-Émilion. Jacques Kanon bought the property in 1760 and expanded the vineyard and estate before selling the property to a Bordeaux wine merchant Raymond Fontemoing just ten years later.
