Château Vrai Canon Bouché is one of the top properties in Canon-Fronsac, an appellation located on Bordeaux's right bank, just west of Libourne. The 12 hectares of vineyards are planted to 64% Merlot and 31% Cabernet Franc and 5% Malbec at the peak of the Canon-Fronsac plateau. Vrai Canon Bouché's terroir is unique: The property was once a limestone quarry, with much of the exposed limestone breaking down into clay, resulting in a complex mix of clay and limestone soils. Additionally, the vineyards are located on slopes at relatively high elevations. All vineyards are farmed sustainably with organic certification scheduled for 2022.

Another impressive wine from the Canon Fronsac region, the 2018 Château Vrai Canon Bouche is 55% Merlot, 41% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Malbec, brought up in 40% new French oak. Rocking levels of blackcurrants, cherries, mulberries, chocolate, and leafy herbs emerge from the glass, and it's rich and medium to full-bodied, with a layered, opulent texture and a great finish. A total sleeper in the vintage, it's ideal for enjoying over the coming decade.

Pure and racy, with damson plum and cassis notes streaming along, flanked with savory, lilac and bergamot notes and carried by a refined minerality through the finish. Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Malbec. Drink now through 2030. 4,333 cases made.

The 2018 Vrai Canon Bouché is a very pretty wine laced with cedar, sweet pipe tobacco, mint and rose petal. Pliant and aromatically lifted, the 2018 is an absolute joy to taste. Give it a year or two in bottle to soften.
