The estate
Established in the late 1940s by the Pécresse family, the Château Canon Pécresse is located on the slopes of Saint-Michel-de-Fronsac, in the heart of the Canon-Fronsac appellation. Since 2023, the Labrune families (Château de La Dauphine) and Pécresse have joined forces to highlight this terroir.

The vineyard
The vines of Château Canon Pécresse thrive on a 4-hectare limestone plateau in the Canon-Fronsac appellation. This exceptional terroir is a true geological extension of the Saint-Émilion plateau. The vines, averaging 30 years old, benefit from rigorous biodynamic management that respects the natural balance of this privileged environment.

The vintage
The year 2024 is characterized by a late harvest marked by significant rainfall that influenced the vegetative cycle. The clay soils held up better under contrasting climatic conditions. Harvesting took place from September 24 to October 4, producing expressive and balanced juices despite these climatic challenges.

Winemaking and aging
Winemaking focuses on meticulous plot-by-plot work with manual remontages and the use of the Rpulse technique. After hydraulic vertical pressing and juice separation, malolactic fermentation takes place in barrels. Aging occurs in a harmonious combination of barrels, 20-hectoliter vats, and amphorae, allowing for the separation of juice fractions to preserve the aromatic complexity of each plot.

Blend
This Château Canon Pécresse 2024 is the result of a blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc.
