The 2016 received 98+ points from Wine Advocate, 98 from Wine Enthusiast and 97 from Decanter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe vines grow on Château Canon’s limestone plateau in Saint-Émilion, a distinctive setting reflected in the wine’s mineral character.
