Château Canon Chaigneau is located then in the eastern side of the Lalande de Pomerol appellation on the Néac plateau, and just to the north of the Pomerol plateau, where the likes of Petrus, Lafleur, la Conseillante and Clinet can be found. At Canon Chaigneau, we are lucky enough to have a terroir of clay, limestone & iron deposits; indeed very similar to those great names just to the south, a terroir adding genuine complexity and making for excellent, refined & age worthy wines. Indeed, the Romans recognised the greatness of our terroir, and winemaking began here almost 2000 years ago. We specialise in blending tradition with modernity: from impeccably run vineyards, to top quality concrete vats. Produced traditionally according to 'La lutte raisonnée' (literally 'the reasoned struggle') - using less chemicals than conventional growers. We are 90% Merlot, 5% Cabernet & 5% Pressac (More commonly known as Malbec, outside of Bordeaux) with a good and regular harvest of ~120,000 bottle
