Our sensational 2020 is in bottle and now available in an ultra-limited 375ml format, perfect for adding to your cellar without committing a full bottle, or for sharing a taste of an exceptional vintage before it's gone.

2020 is 'truly exceptional, highly unique and an utterly spectacular vintage' wrote Colin Hay, and ranks amongst the best ever here at Canon Chaigneau!

We are thrilled with the quality of our 2020. The summer was, of course, hot and sunny, after a wet spring, and we had just about the right amount of hydric stress. High sugars and potential alcohol, the fruit was dense, opulent, and juicy. It's our first vintage 100% in charge and we increased selection (more hands on the sorting table) harvesting/vinifying parcel by parcel also for the first time ever. We harvested over 17 days ensuring optimal maturity. We have a few parcels on very thick and gluey dense clay. We had quite a bit of juice, total yields of around 53 hl and performed a saignée of around 5% for the first time. Vinification in 44-153 HL cement cuves and a selection made it into 20 new and 20 one-year-old 500 litre barrels, from Sylvain, Taransaud and Demptos. The grand vin includes 2% of the press wine, which we pressed very gently this year.

This 375ml edition is exceptionally limited, a rare chance to hold a piece of one of our finest vintages in a format made for discovery, gifting, or simply opening sooner than you'd planned.
